His greatness is unsearchable.
[4] One generation will commend your works to another,
and will declare your mighty acts.
[5] I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor,
on your wondrous works.
[6] Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts.
I will declare your greatness.

Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
Yahweh is faithful in all his words,
and loving in all his deeds.‡
[14] Yahweh upholds all who fall,
and raises up all those who are bowed down.
[15] The eyes of all wait for you.
You give them their food in due season.
[16] You open your hand,
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
