Glory be to the Lord, for ever;let the Lord rejoice in his works.He turns his gaze to the earth, and it trembles;he touches the mountains, and they smoke.I will sing to the Lord all my life;as long as I exist, I will sing songs to God.May my praises be pleasing to him;truly I will delight in the Lord.
Let sinners perish from the earth,let the wicked vanish from existence.Bless the Lord, my soul!
