Psalms 145

1 The Praise of David himself. I will extol you, O God, my king. And I will bless your name, in this time and forever and ever.

“A song of praise. By David.” I will extol thee, my God, the King! I will praise thy name for ever and ever!

2 Throughout every single day, I will bless you. And I will praise your name, in this time and forever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee, And praise thy name for ever and ever!

3 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And there is no end to his greatness.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; Yea, his greatness is unsearchable.

4 Generation after generation will praise your works, and they will declare your power.

One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty deeds.

5 They will tell of the magnificent glory of your sanctity. And they will discourse of your wonders.

I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, And of thy wonderful works.

6 And they will talk about the virtue of your terrible acts. And they will describe your greatness.

Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible deeds, And I will declare thy greatness;

7 They will shout about the memory of your abundant sweetness. And they will exult in your justice.

They shall pour forth the praise of thy great good And sing of thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.

The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion, Slow to anger, and rich in mercy.

9 The Lord is sweet to all things, and his compassion is upon all his works.

The LORD is good to all. And his tender mercies are over all his works.

10 O Lord, may all your works confess to you, and let your holy ones bless you.

All thy works praise thee, O LORD! And thy holy ones bless thee!

11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and they will declare your power,

They speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;

12 so as to make known to the sons of men your power and the glory of your magnificent kingdom.

To make known to the sons of men his mighty deeds, And the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and your dominion is with all, from generation to generation. The Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all his works.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The Lord lifts up all who have fallen down, and he sets upright all who have been thrown down.

The LORD upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all that are bowed down.

15 O Lord, all eyes hope in you, and you provide their food in due time.

The eyes of all wait upon thee, And thou givest them their food in due season;

16 You open your hand, and you fill every kind of animal with a blessing.

Thou openest thine hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is just in all his ways and holy in all his works.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, And merciful in all his works.

18 The Lord is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.

The LORD is nigh to all that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will do the will of those who fear him, and he will heed their supplication and accomplish their salvation.

He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; He heareth their cry, and saveth them.

20 The Lord watches over all who love him. And he will destroy all sinners.

The LORD preserveth all that love him; But all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and may all flesh bless his holy name, in this time and forever and ever.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever!
