Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;
Praise God, my soul, for in Him are your health and salvation;
Come all who hear, into His presence draw near,
Joining in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who in all things is wondrously reigning,
Shields you from harm and is gently but firmly sustaining.
Have you not seen how your heart’s wishes have been
Granted by God’s wise ordaining?

Praise to the Lord, who with blessing and power will defend you;
Surely His goodness and mercy will daily attend you;
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do:
God will forever befriend you.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen sound from God’s people again:
Gladly for ever adore Him.
