Praise for the LORD's Goodness and Power

1451 I will extol You, my God , O King , And I will bless Your name forever and ever . 2 Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever . 3 Great is the Lord , and highly to be praised , And His greatness is unsearchable e . 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another , And shall declare Your mighty acts . 5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works , I will meditate . 6 Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts , And I will tell of Your greatness . 7 They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness . 8 The Lord is gracious and merciful ; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness . 9 The Lord is good to all , And His mercies are over all His works .

10 All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord , And Your godly ones shall bless You. 11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power ; 12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom . 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom , And Your dominion endures throughout all generations . 14 The Lord sustains all who fall And raises up all who are bowed down . 15 The eyes of all look to You, And You give them their food in due time . 16 You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing . 17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds . 18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth . 19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. 20 The Lord keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy . 21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord , And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever .

A Morning Prayer of Trust in God

31 O Lord , how my adversaries have increased ! Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul , "There is no deliverance for him in God ." Selah . 3 But You, O Lord , are a shield about me, My glory , and the One who lifts my head .

4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice , And He answered me from His holy mountain . Selah . 5 I lay down and slept ; I awoke , for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about . 7 Arise , O Lord ; save me, O my God ! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek ; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked . 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord ; Your blessing be upon Your people ! Selah .
