Morning Service
Every day I bless thee,
And praise thy name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation to another praises thy works;
They recount thy mighty acts.
On the splendor of thy glorious majesty
And on thy wondrous deeds I meditate.
They speak of thy awe-inspiring might,
And I tell of thy greatness.
They spread the fame of thy great goodness,
And sing of thy righteousness.
Gracious and merciful is the Lord,
Slow to anger and of great kindness.
The Lord is good to all,
And his mercy is over all his works.
All thy works praise thee, O Lord,
And thy faithful followers bless thee.
They speak of thy glorious kingdom,
And talk of thy might,
To let men know thy mighty deeds,
And the glorious splendor of thy kingdom.
Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages,
And thy dominion is for all generations.
The Lord upholds all who fall,
And raises all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look hopefully to thee,
And thou givest them their food in due season.
Thou openest thy hand,
And satisfiest every living thing with favor.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
And gracious in all his deeds.
The Lord is near to all who call upon him,
To all who call upon him sincerely.
He fulfills the desire of those who revere him;
He hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord preserves all who love him,
But all the wicked he destroys.
My mouth speaks the praise of the Lord;
Let all creatures bless his holy name forever and ever.

[1]We will bless the Lord henceforth and forever.

Praise the Lord!

  1. Psalm 115:18.
