1 Praise the Lord.

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

2 Great are the works of the Lord,

studied by all who have pleasure in them.

3 Full of honor and majesty is his work,

and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful.

5 He provides food for those who fear him;

he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the heritage of the nations.
