My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
you righteous ones;
shout for joy,
all you upright in heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;
praise from the upright is beautiful.

Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name;
proclaim His deeds among the peoples.

House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

Watch the blameless and observe the upright,
for the man of peace will have a future.
