Psalms 145
1 A psalm of David. A song of praise. I will glorify you, my God and King! I will praise who you are forever and ever!
I will extol thee, my Elohim, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 I will praise you every day; I will praise your character forever and ever!
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 The Lord is great and deserves much praise! His greatness cannot be measured!
Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 Let every generation tell the next all that you do, sharing the stories of your amazing miracles!
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 They will speak of your majesty, your glorious splendor, and I will meditate on the wonderful things you have done.
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 They will speak of the power of your awesome actions, and I will say how wonderful you are.
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They will explain to everyone how famous you are for your tremendous goodness, and joyfully celebrate how you always do what is right.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, not easily angered, and full of trustworthy love.
YHWH is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The Lord is good to everyone, and he shows mercy to all his created beings.
YHWH is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All the created beings will thank you, Lord, and all who faithfully follow you will praise you.
All thy works shall praise thee, O YHWH; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They will praise the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 They will explain to people your wonderful miracles, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Your kingdom never ends, and your rule continues for all generations. What the Lord promises can always be trusted; he is merciful in all he does.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 The Lord helps up all those who fall down; he lifts up all those who are bowed down.
YHWH upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
15 All eyes are on you, waiting in hope, and you give food at just the right time.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16 You give generously and satisfy the needs of every living thing.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord does right in everything—his actions are always trustworthy.
YHWH is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is close to all who ask for his help, to all who ask in sincerity.
YHWH is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He satisfies the needs of those who follow him. He hears their cries for help and he saves them.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 The Lord takes care of all those who love him, but he will destroy all those who are wicked.
YHWH preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 I will speak in praise of the Lord, and may everyone honor his holy character, forever and ever.
My mouth shall speak the praise of YHWH: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
