Psalms 145

1 A Psalm of praise. Of David. I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever.

A Song of praise. Of David. Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever.

2 Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.

4 One generation will commend Your works to the next, and will proclaim Your mighty acts—

One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.

5 the glorious splendor of Your majesty. And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.

My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.

6 They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.

Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.

7 They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.

Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.

The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.

9 The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made.

The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.

10 All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD, and Your saints will bless You.

All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.

11 They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom and speak of Your might,

Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;

12 to make known to men Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.

So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His actions.

Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.

14 The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.

15 The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in season.

The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.

16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.

17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds.

The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.

The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.

19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.

To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

20 The LORD preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.

The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.

21 My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD; let every creature bless His holy name forever and ever.

My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
