Psalms 145

1 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.

Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless Thy name to the age and for ever.

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

Every day do I bless Thee, And praise Thy name to the age and for ever.

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

Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching.

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

Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare.

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

The honour — the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare.

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

And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount.

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

The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing.

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

Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness.

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

Good [is] Jehovah to all, And His mercies [are] over all His works.

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

Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee.

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

The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And [of] Thy might they speak,

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

To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom.

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

Thy kingdom [is] a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion [is] in all generations.

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

Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down.

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

The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season,

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

Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing.

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

Righteous [is] Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works.

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

Near [is] Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.

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

The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.

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

Jehovah preserveth all those loving Him, And all the wicked He destroyeth.

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

The praise of Jehovah my mouth speaketh, And all flesh doth bless His holy name, To the age and for ever!
