“Stand up and bless the Lord your God
    from eternity to eternity!

“You are the Lord;

    with all of their armies;
the earth, and everything in it;
    the seas, and everything in them;
you keep giving all of them life,
    and the army of heaven continuously worships you.

    the God who chose Abram,
whom you brought from Ur of the Chaldeans
    and to whom you gave the name Abraham.
