My soul glorifies the Lord for He Himself gives me life and breath;

for watching the universe and nature created by Him always reminds me of

His impressive workmanship.

My soul glorifies the Lord for the only begotten Son has come to the earth

to save me; for He has given me His word to save me; for He was crucified

on the cross to save me; for by His blood I am born again; for He enables me

to see the Kingdom.

My soul glorifies the Lord for He has made me His child and people.
