I Will Exalt You, My God and King

1I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.+ 2Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.+ 3Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.+ 4One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.+ 5Of the glorious majesty of your honor, of your wondrous works, I will meditate.+ 6Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.+ 7They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.+ 8Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.+ 9Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.+ 10All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh. Your saints will extol you.+ 11They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power;+ 12to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.+ 13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Yahweh is faithful in all his words, and loving in all his deeds.+ 14Yahweh upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.+ 15The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.+ 16You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.+ 17Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.+ 18Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.+ 19He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.+ 20Yahweh preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.+ 21My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.+
