גגָּ֘ד֤וֹל יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד וְ֝לִגְדֻלָּת֗וֹ אֵ֣ין חֵֽקֶר׃

3ג Great is GOD and much acclaimed;
such greatness cannot be fathomed.

דדּ֣וֹר לְ֭דוֹר יְשַׁבַּ֣ח מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וּגְב֖וּרֹתֶ֣יךָ יַגִּֽידוּ׃

5ה The glorious majesty of Your splendor
and Your wondrous acts¹ will I recite.

6ו All shall talk of the might of Your awesome deeds,
and I will recount Your greatness.

7ז They shall celebrate Your abundant goodness,
and sing joyously of Your beneficence.

חחַנּ֣וּן וְרַח֣וּם יְהוָ֑ה אֶ֥רֶךְ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם וּגְדָל־חָֽסֶד׃

8ח GOD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.

טטוֹב־יְהוָ֥ה לַכֹּ֑ל וְ֝רַחֲמָ֗יו עַל־כָּל־מַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

9ט GOD is good to all,

11כ They shall talk of the majesty of Your sovereignty,
and speak of Your might,

יבלְהוֹדִ֤יעַ ׀ לִבְנֵ֣י הָ֭אָדָם גְּבוּרֹתָ֑יו וּ֝כְב֗וֹד הֲדַ֣ר מַלְכוּתֽוֹ׃

12ל to make known to all humankind Your² mighty acts
and Your³ sovereignty’s majestic glory.

יגמַֽלְכוּתְךָ֗ מַלְכ֥וּת כָּל־עֹֽלָמִ֑ים וּ֝מֶֽמְשֶׁלְתְּךָ֗ בְּכָל־דּ֥וֹר וָדֽוֹר׃

13מ Your rule is an eternal rule;
Your dominion is for all generations.

ידסוֹמֵ֣ךְ יְ֭הוָה לְכָל־הַנֹּפְלִ֑ים וְ֝זוֹקֵ֗ף לְכָל־הַכְּפוּפִֽים׃

14ס GOD supports all who stumble,
and makes all who are bent stand straight.

טועֵֽינֵי־כֹ֭ל אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּ֑רוּ וְאַתָּ֤ה נֽוֹתֵן־לָהֶ֖ם אֶת־אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃

15ע The eyes of all look to You expectantly,
and You give them their food when it is due.

טזפּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכָל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃

16פ You give it openhandedly,
feeding every creature to its heart’s content.

יזצַדִּ֣יק יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־דְּרָכָ֑יו וְ֝חָסִ֗יד בְּכָל־מַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

and faithful in all works.

יחקָר֣וֹב יְ֭הוָה לְכָל־קֹרְאָ֑יו לְכֹ֤ל אֲשֶׁ֖ר יִקְרָאֻ֣הוּ בֶאֱמֶֽת׃

18ק GOD is near to all who call,
to all who call with sincerity.

יטרְצוֹן־יְרֵאָ֥יו יַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְֽאֶת־שַׁוְעָתָ֥ם יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע וְיוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃

19ר Fulfilling the wishes of those who show reverence,
[God] hears their cry and delivers them.

כשׁוֹמֵ֣ר יְ֭הוָה אֶת־כָּל־אֹהֲבָ֑יו וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־הָרְשָׁעִ֣ים יַשְׁמִֽיד׃

20ש GOD watches over all who show their love,
but all the wicked are destroyed.

כאתְּהִלַּ֥ת יְהוָ֗ה יְֽדַבֶּ֫ר־פִּ֥י וִיבָרֵ֣ךְ כָּל־בָּ֭שָׂר שֵׁ֥ם קָדְשׁ֗וֹ לְעוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

21ת My mouth shall utter the praise of GOD,
whose holy name all creatures⁴ shall bless forever and ever.
