The Lord is (A)good to all,
    and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10 (B)All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
    and all your (C)saints shall bless you!
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
    and tell of your power,
12 to (D)make known to the children of man your[a] (E)mighty deeds,
    and (F)the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 (G)Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

[The Lord is faithful in all his words
    and kind in all his works.][b]
14 The Lord (H)upholds all who are falling
    and (I)raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all (J)look to you,
    and you give them their food in due season.
16 You (K)open your hand;
    you (L)satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is (M)righteous in all his ways
    and (N)kind in all his works.
18 The Lord is (O)near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him (P)in truth.
19 He (Q)fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
    he also (R)hears their cry and saves them.
20 The Lord (S)preserves all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
    and (T)let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
