"All living things look to you for food, and you give it to them at the right time," Psalm 145:15.

God, the one and only God, the God creator of worlds without number, the God whose creation points to him as God, the God revealed in the Bible, of whom it witnesses that he speaks and the cosmos happens, this God establishes an everlasting kingdom. His rule endures throughout generations, from age to age. The works of this God give thanks to him, to Jehovah God. His holy ones will bless this God. They tell the glory of his kingdom and power to the children of man. This God lifts up whoever falls, he straightens up whoever bows low under burdens. This God opens his hand to satisfy the desire of all living beings. This God stands near to all who call on him. Who call on him in truth. (This God destroys the wicked.) This God fulfills the desire of those who fear him. He listens. He hears their cry and saves them. This God preserves. This God provides. This God.

With a brother or sister today, our mouths speak the praise of Jehovah God, and we enjoin every human to bless God's holy name forever. And, together, we give him thanks.
