      I praise the Lord with all my heart

      in the assembled congregation of the upright.

      The works of the Lord are great,

      within reach of all who desire them.

      His deeds are splendid and glorious;

      His beneficence is everlasting;

      He has created a remembrance of His wonders …

      He revealed to His people His powerful works.
