6 Let every living creature

praise the Lord.

Shout praises to the Lord!

1 Shout praises to the Lord!

With all that I am,

I will shout his praises.

2 I will sing and praise

the Lord God

as long as I live.

13 You are the one

who put me together

inside my mother’s body,

14 and I praise you because of

the wonderful way

you created me.

Everything you do is marvelous!

Of this I have no doubt.

15 Nothing about me

is hidden from you!

I was secretly woven together

out of human sight,

16 but with your own eyes you saw

my body being formed.

Even before I was born,

you had written in your book

everything about me.

33 As long as I live,

I will sing and praise you,

the Lord God.

34 I hope my thoughts

will please you,

because you are the one

who makes me glad.

3 You know the Lord is God!

He created us,

and we belong to him;

we are his people,

the sheep in his pasture.

4 Be thankful and praise the Lord

as you enter his temple.

7 Your love is a treasure,

and everyone finds shelter

in the shadow of your wings.

8 You give your guests a feast

in your house,

and you serve a tasty drink

that flows like a river.

9 The life-giving fountain

belongs to you,

and your light gives light

to each of us.

1 I will praise you, Lord!

You saved me from the grave

and kept my enemies

from celebrating my death.

2 I prayed to you, Lord God,

and you healed me,

3 saving me from death

and the grave.

1 I will praise you, Lord,

with all my heart

and tell about the wonders

you have worked.

2 God Most High, I will rejoice;

I will celebrate and sing

because of you.

20 Always use the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to thank God the Father for everything.

3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the spiritual blessings that Christ has brought us from heaven!

15 Thank God for his gift that is too wonderful for words!

12 I pray that you will be grateful to God for letting you* have part in what he has promised his people in the kingdom of light. 13 God rescued us from the dark power of Satan and brought us into the kingdom of his dear Son, 14 *who forgives our sins and sets us free.

15 *Christ is exactly like God,

who cannot be seen.

He is the first-born Son,

superior to all creation.

16 Everything was created by him,

everything in heaven

and on earth,

everything seen and unseen,

including all forces

and powers,

and all rulers

and authorities.

All things were created

by God’s Son,

and everything was made

for him.

17 God’s Son was before all else,

and by him everything

is held together.

10 After you eat and are full, give praise to the Lord your God for the good land he gave you.

58 You rescued me

and saved my life.

6 I had sunk down deep

below the mountains

beneath the sea.

I knew that forever,

I would be a prisoner there.

But, you, Lord God,

rescued me from that pit.

7 When my life was slipping away,

I remembered you—

and in your holy temple

you heard my prayer.
