Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!

Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.

Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:

You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!

From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him.

The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever!

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
