LET THE WHOLE EARTH SING THE PRAISE OF THE LORD. LET THEM MAGNIFY HIS NAME IN TRUTH.

O Father, make known to thy servant the works of thy hand. And let me lift up thy name in praise. Yea, if need be bow the heavens, but let thy name glory. Let power and strength take hold of thee. Honour and glory shall cleave unto thee: they shall not forsake thee. They shall be a remembrance of thy goodness and mercy towards me. I will seek thee, O God, my strength. With all my heart I will cleave unto thee. Like the eagles unto the rocks I will cleave unto thee. Consider me, O God, in thy mercy. Let the joy of thy bosom take hold of me. O Father, I seek thy truth. Thy word is truth. Let truth follow me. Behold, by thy mighty hand will I prevail. Hear, O LORD, thy servant, and make make known unto me the works of thy hand. I will lift up thy name in glory. To the ends of the earth I will praise thee. Yea, if only for thy name’s sake I will do it. Let righteousness take hold of this earth, O God. Let justice and truth prevail. Violence and corruption are everywhere. Evil and wicked men rise up without shame and without mercy. They have no regard for their maker,  nor do they attend unto thee. Vanity, O vanity, all is vanity. But the works of thy hand, O LORD, are from everlasting unto everlasting. Behold, thou art the everlasting God. And the works of thy hand are not in vain. I seek thee, O LORD; for who laid down the foundation of the earth? Who giveth life to us and established our ways? The fountains of waters are the works of thy hand. The heavens and the earth are the works of thy hand. Let my glory make haste and take hold of thee. O LORD, my whole being lift up thy name in praise. I will declare the works of thy hand; for thou art the power and the glory and the majesty. All things are in thy hand. Let the heavens rejoice in the LORD. And let the whole earth sing his praise. For the heavens and the earth were made by thee. For it is written: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork (Psalms 19:1). The earth is the LORD’S and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein (Psalms 24:1). Let everything that has breath praise God and give glory to whom glory is due. For the works of his hand are mighty and great. And all his works are done in truth. Praise be thy name, O God; for thou alone have done such marvelous works.
