23 A SONG OF GOD’S REIGN
| |||
| Refrain: | See what the Lord our God has done* and exalt him in the sight of the living. | ||
| 1 |
Blessèd be God, who lives for ever,* whose reign endures throughout all ages. | ||
| 2 |
Declare God’s praise before the nations,* you who are the children of Israel. | ||
| 3 |
For if our God has scattered you among them,* there too has he shown you his greatness. | ||
| 4 |
Exalt him in the sight of the living,* because he is our God and our Father for ever. | ||
| 5 |
Though God punishes you for your wickedness,* mercy will be shown to you all. | ||
| 6 |
God will gather you from every nation,* from wherever you have been scattered. | ||
| 7 |
When you turn to the Lord with all your heart and soul,* God will hide his face from you no more. | ||
| 8 |
See what the Lord has done for you* and give thanks with a loud voice. | ||
| 9 |
Praise the Lord of righteousness* and exalt the King of the ages. | ||
| |||
|
See what the Lord our God has done* and exalt him in the sight of the living. | |||
