8  The Lord is ^kgracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9  The Lord is good to all,

and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10  ^lAll your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,

and all your saints shall bless you!

11  They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom

and tell of your power,

12  to ^mmake known to the children of man your¹ mighty deeds,

and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13  Your kingdom is an ⁿeverlasting kingdom,

and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

[The Lord is faithful in all his words

and kind in all his works.²]

14  The Lord upholds all who are falling

and ^oraises up all who are bowed down.

15  The eyes of all look to you,

and you ^pgive them their food in due season.

16  You ^qopen your hand;

you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17  The Lord is righteous in all his ways

and kind in all his works.

18  The Lord is ^rnear to all who call on him,

to all who call on him in truth.

19  He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;

he also hears their cry and saves them.

20  The Lord ^spreserves all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.

21  My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

and ^tlet all flesh ^ubless his holy name forever and ever.
