¹⁷ I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.

² I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.

¹⁵ My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

¹⁶ I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.

⁴⁸ But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

³⁴ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.

²⁵ That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

¹⁷ This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.

⁷ Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

³ His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

² The Lord has given to all the knowledge of his salvation; he has made clear his righteousness in the eyes of the nations.

⁸ But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

¹ <A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.> It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

¹⁴ Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.

²⁸ And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.
