R (2a) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
The promises of the Lord I will sing forever,
through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness. R
Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
in the light of your countenance, O Lord, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day,
and through your justice they are exalted. R
You are the splendor of their strength,
and by your favor our horn is exalted.
For to the Lord belongs our shield,
and the Holy One of Israel, our king. R
- Buried with Christ in baptism, we shall walk in the newness of life. l
