You deserve that people praise you for ever! Lord, you are great, powerful and beautiful! You rule as king over everything in heaven and on earth. Yes, Lord, everything belongs in your kingdom! 12You are the one who gives people riches and honour. You rule over everything. You have great strength and power, so you are able to make people strong and famous. 13So we thank you, our God. We praise your great name!
