3
ThomsonThe Lord is great and greatly to be praised; and of His greatness there is no end.
BrentonTrust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
GreekΜὴ πεποίθατε ἐπʼ ἄρχοντας, καὶ ἐφʼ υἱοὺς ἀνθρώπων, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι σωτηρία.
4
ThomsonLet generation after generation praise Thy works, and proclaim Thy mighty power:
BrentonHis breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5
ThomsonLet them speak of the transcendant glory of Thy majesty, and relate Thy wonderous works.
BrentonBlessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6
ThomsonLet them express the might of Thine awful dealings, and rehearse Thy greatness.
Brentonwho made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7
ThomsonLet them make mention of Thine abundant goodness, and exult with joy in Thy saving mercy.
Brentonwho executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
Greekποιοῦντα κρίμα τοῖς ἀδικουμένοις, διδόντα τροφὴν τοῖς πεινῶσι. Κύριος λύει πεπεδημένους,
8
ThomsonThe Lord is gracious and merciful: long suffering and abundant in kindness.
Brentonthe Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
GreekΚύριος σοφοῖ τυφλοὺς, Κύριος ἀνορθοῖ κατεῤῥαγμένους, Κύριος ἀγαπᾷ δικαίους,
9
ThomsonThe Lord is kind to them who wait, and His mercies are over all His works.
Brentonhe will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
GreekΚύριος φυλάσσει τοὺς προσηλύτους· ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν ἀναλήμψεται, καὶ ὁδὸν ἁμαρτωλῶν ἀφανιεῖ.
10
ThomsonLet all Thy works, O Lord, praise Thee, and let Thy saints bless Thee;
BrentonThe Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
GreekΒασιλεύσει Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὁ Θεός σου, Σιὼν, εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
