How does the blessing that concludes Hallel start?

Question

There seem to be two different opening expressions with for the blessing that concludes Hallel:

Is one version preferable and how did they originate?

We have it in a verse sefaria.org/Psalms.145.10 "All Your works shall praise You, O LORD" How do you understand the rest of the paragraph accd to the first version anyway? It's just listing people who praise God. — Double AA, Commented Dec 28, 2016 at 14:29
The Rambam has the second version mechon-mamre.org/i/3a03.htm#10 and R Saadya Gaon hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=20685&pgnum=207 and Avudarham, (Rokeiach hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49926&pgnum=258 seems to be a typo and he too agrees with the second version I think) — Double AA, Commented Dec 28, 2016 at 14:32

In the Sefer Abudarham, the nusach is " יהללוך ה' אלקיך כל מעשיך" following the verse in Tehilim 145, 10:

יוֹד֣וּךָ יְ֭הֹוָה כׇּל־מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יךָ יְבָרְכֽוּכָה׃

Bartenura mishnayot Pesachim 10, 7, without "אלקינו" :

יהללוך ה' כל מעשיך

I found this thanks to the hagaot in siddur Tefila Yeshara.

Rambam Chamets Umatsa 8, 10:

יהללוך ה' אלוהינו כל מעשיך

In siddur Hagra also they wrote that the Gra's nusach was without "על".

But the minhag to say "על" exists, I don't know what's the earliest source of this minhag.
