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

3 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.
The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
4 One generation will commend Your works to the next, and will proclaim Your mighty acts—
Generation after generation shall praise thy works, and tell of thy power.
5 the glorious splendor of Your majesty. And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of thy holiness, and recount thy wonders.
6 They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.
And they shall speak of the power of thy terrible [acts]; and recount thy greatness.
7 They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
They shall utter the memory of the abundance of thy goodness, and shall exult in thy righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.

9 The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made.
The Lord is good to those that wait [on him]; and his compassions are over all his works.
10 All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD, and Your saints will bless You.
Let all thy works, O Lord, give thanks to thee; and let thy saints bless thee.
11 They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom and speak of Your might,
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy dominion;
12 to make known to men Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.
to make known to the sons of men thy power, and the glorious majesty of thy 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.

14 The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
15 The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in season.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest [them] their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Thou openest thine hands, and fillest every living thing with pleasure.
17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy 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 to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.
He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
20 The LORD preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.
The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.
21 My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD; let every creature bless His holy name forever and ever.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
