42. The Great Thanksgiving

The merciful goodness of the LORD
endures forever on those who fear him,
and his righteousness from generation to generation:
Even on those who keep his covenant,
and remember his commandments, and do them.
The LORD has set his throne in heaven
and his kingship has dominion over all.
Praise the LORD, you angels of his,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
and hearken to the voice of his word.
Praise the LORD, all you his hosts,
you ministers of his who do his will.
Praise the LORD, all you works of his
in all places of his dominion;
praise the LORD.
