Praise the Lord for All He Has Done

Shout praises to the Lord!
    With all my heart
I will thank the Lord
    when his people meet.
The Lord has done
    many wonderful things!
Everyone who is pleased
with God's marvelous deeds
    will keep them in mind.
Everything the Lord does
    is glorious and majestic,
and his power to bring justice
    will never end.

The Lord God is famous
for his wonderful deeds,
    and he is kind and merciful.
He gives food to his worshipers
and always keeps his agreement
    with them.
He has shown his mighty power
    to his people
and has given them the lands
    of other nations.

God is always honest and fair,
    and his laws can be trusted.
They are true and right
    and will stand forever.
God rescued his people,
    and he will never break
his agreement with them.
    He is fearsome and holy.

10 (A) Respect and obey the Lord!
This is the first step
    to wisdom and good sense.[a]
God will always be respected.

God Blesses His Worshipers

Shout praises to the Lord!
    The Lord blesses everyone
who worships him and gladly
    obeys his teachings.
Their descendants will have
    great power in the land,
because the Lord blesses
    all who do right.
They will get rich and prosper
and will always be remembered
    for their fairness.
They will be so kind
    and merciful and good,
that they will be a light
in the dark for others
    who do the right thing.

Life will go well for those
who freely lend
    and are honest in business.
They won't ever be troubled,
and the kind things they do
    will never be forgotten.
Bad news won't bother them;
they have decided
    to trust the Lord.
They are dependable
    and not afraid,
and they will live to see
    their enemies defeated.
(B) They will always be remembered
    and greatly praised,
because they were kind
    and freely gave to the poor.
10 When evil people see this,
they angrily bite their tongues
    and disappear.
They will never get
    what they really want.
