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 hymn of praise by David.” I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy 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 bless thee, and I will praise thy 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 praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

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

One generation shall praise thy works to the other, and thy mighty acts shall they declare.

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

On the majestic glory of thy excellence, and on thy wondrous deeds will I meditate.

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

And of the might of thy terrible acts shall men converse: and thy greatness will I relate.

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

The memorial of thy abundant goodness shall they loudly proclaim, and they shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.

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

Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness.

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

The Lord is good to all, 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 thy works shall thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee.

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

Of the glory of thy kingdom shall they converse, and of thy might shall they speak:

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

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty 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.

Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all eternities, and thy dominion [subsisteth] throughout all generations.

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

The Lord upholdeth all who are falling, and raiseth up all those who are bowed down.

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

The eyes of all wait hopefully upon thee, and thou givest them their food in its due season.

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

Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

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

Righteous is the Lord in all his ways, and beneficent 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 nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

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

The desire of those who fear him will he fulfill, and their cry will he hear, and save them.

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

The Lord preserveth all those who love him; but all the wicked will he destroy.

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

The praise of the Lord shall my mouth speak: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
