The kingdom, the power, and the glory
The conclusion of this divine prayer, commonly called the doxology, is a solemn thanksgiving, a brief acknowledgment of the attributes and works of God. For yours is the kingdom, the sovereign right of all things that are or ever were created. Yes, your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom (Psalm 145:13), and your dominion endures throughout all ages. The power, the executive power whereby you govern all things in your everlasting kingdom, whereby you do whatever pleases you in all places of your dominion. And the glory, the praise due from every creature for your power, and the mightiness of your kingdom, and for all your wondrous works which you work from everlasting, and shall do, world without end, forever and ever. Amen. So be it.

16. The conclusion of this divine prayer, commonly called the doxology, is a solemn thanksgiving, a compendious acknowledgement of the attributes and works of God. For thine is the kingdom; the sovereign right of all things that are, or ever were created: yea, thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. The power: The executive power, whereby thou governest all things in thy everlasting kingdom, whereby thou dost whatsoever pleaseth thee, in all places of thy dominion.――And the glory; the praise due from every creature, for thy power and the mightiness of thy kingdom, and for all thy wondrous works, which thou workest from everlasting, and shalt do, world without end, for ever and ever! Amen. So be it!
