< 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. By David.” I will extol thee, my God, the King! I will praise thy 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 bless thee, And praise thy 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; Yea, his greatness is unsearchable.
4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty deeds.
5 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, And of thy wonderful works.
6 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible deeds, And I will declare thy greatness;
7 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
They shall pour forth the praise of thy great good And sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion, Slow to anger, and rich in mercy.
9 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
The LORD is good to all. And his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
All thy works praise thee, O LORD! And thy holy ones bless thee!
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
They speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;
12 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
To make known to the sons of men his mighty deeds, And the glorious majesty 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.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all that are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
The eyes of all wait upon thee, And thou givest them their food in due season;
16 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
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 nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that 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 them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.
He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; He heareth their cry, and saveth them.
20 The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.
The LORD preserveth all that love him; But all the wicked he will destroy.
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 shall speak the praise of the LORD; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever!
