Praise for the LORD's Goodness and Power

1451 I will exalt you, my God, the King.
I will praise your name forever and ever. 2 Every day I will praise you.
I will extol your name forever and ever. 3 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation will commend your works to another,
and will declare your mighty acts. 5 Of the glorious majesty of your honor,
of your wondrous works, I will meditate. 6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts.
I will declare your greatness. 7 They will utter the memory of your great goodness,
and will sing of your righteousness. 8 Yahweh is gracious, merciful,
slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. 9 Yahweh is good to all.
His tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh.
Your saints will extol you. 11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and talk about your power; 12 to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
the glory of the majesty of his kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
Yahweh is faithful in all his words,
and loving in all his deeds. [1] 14 Yahweh upholds all who fall,
and raises up all those who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait for you.
You give them their food in due season. 16 You open your hand,
and satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17 Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and gracious in all his works. 18 Yahweh is near to all those who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. 19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him.
He also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20 Yahweh preserves all those who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy. 21 My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh.
Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

A Morning Prayer of Trust in God

31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
