< Psalms 145 >

1 A Psalm of praise. Of David. I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
David's [Psalm of] praise. I will exalt you, my God, my king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
4 One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
Generation after generation shall praise your works, and tell of your power.
5 I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders.
6 And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.
And they shall speak of the power of your terrible [acts]; and recount your greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
They shall utter the memory of the abundance of your goodness, and shall exult in your righteousness.
8 Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.
The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
9 Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.
The Lord is good to those that wait [on him]; and his compassions are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.
Let all your works, O Lord, give thanks to you; and let your saints bless you.
11 They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;
They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your dominion;
12 To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.
to make known to the sons of men your power, and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion [endures] through all generations. The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.
14 Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.
The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.
The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give [them] their food in due season.
16 Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
You open your hands, and fill every living thing with pleasure.
17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.
The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.
He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
20 Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.
The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
