Psalms 145

1 I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

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.

2 Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

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

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.

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

4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.

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

5 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.

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

6 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.

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

7 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.

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

8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.

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

9 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

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

10 Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

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

11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

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

12 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.

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

13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.

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

14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.

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

15 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.

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

16 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.

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

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

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

18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

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

19 He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.

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

20 The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.

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

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

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