²² I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the congregation I will praise you.
²³ You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised nor detested the affliction of the afflicted.
He has not hidden his face from him,
but when he cried out to him, he heard.
²⁵ You are the source of my praise in the great congregation. ^[1]
I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who fear him.

²⁶ The poor will eat and be satisfied.
Those who seek him will praise the Lord—
may he live in your hearts forever! ^[2]
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations will bow down before you.
²⁸ For the kingdom belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
²⁹ All the rich of the earth will eat and bow down.
All who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive. ^[3]
30 Descendants will serve him.
For generations people will be told about the Lord.
³¹ They will come and proclaim his righteousness
    to a people yet to be born—
because he has done it.
