I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise is always in my mouth. After all is said and heard, fear God and keep His commandments, because this is a person’s whole purpose in this world. My mouth will say the praises of the Lord, and everyone will do the same and bless His holy name forever and ever. We will bless God now and forever. Praise the Lord.
