 The is gracious and full of compassion, * slow to anger and of great kindness.

The is loving to everyone * and his compassion is over all his works.

All your works praise you, O, * and your faithful servants bless you.

They make known the glory of your kingdom * and speak of your power;

That the peoples may know of your power * and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; * your dominion endures throughout all ages.

The is faithful in all his words * and merciful in all his deeds.

The upholds all those who fall; * he lifts up those who are bowed down.

The eyes of all wait upon you, O, * and you give them their food in due season.

You open wide your hand * and satisfy the needs of every living creature.

The is righteous in all his ways * and loving in all his works.

The is near to those who call upon him, * to all who call upon him faithfully.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; * he hears their cry and helps them.

The preserves all those who love him, * but he destroys all the wicked.
