Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!
Let me share in the prosperity of your chosen ones. Let me rejoice in the joy of your people; let me praise you with those who are your heritage.
But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him to everyone.
Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart as I meet with his godly people.
All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.
He will bless those who fear the Lord, both great and lowly.
He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them.
Our children will also serve him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord.
Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the Lord.
Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him.
Then I will thank you in front of the great assembly. I will praise you before all the people.
But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”
With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever,
Therefore, strong nations will declare your glory; ruthless nations will fear you.
He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.
The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”
