< 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!
תְּהִלָּ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲרֹומִמְךָ֣ אֱלֹוהַ֣י הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַאֲבָרֲכָ֥ה שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ לְעֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
2 I will praise you every day; I will praise your character forever and ever!
בְּכָל־יֹ֥ום אֲבָרֲכֶ֑ךָּ וַאֲהַלְלָ֥ה שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ לְעֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
3 The Lord is great and deserves much praise! His greatness cannot be measured!
גָּ֘דֹ֤ול יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד וְ֝לִגְדֻלָּתֹ֗ו אֵ֣ין חֵֽקֶר׃
4 Let every generation tell the next all that you do, sharing the stories of your amazing miracles!
דֹּ֣ור לְ֭דֹור יְשַׁבַּ֣ח מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וּגְב֖וּרֹתֶ֣יךָ יַגִּֽידוּ׃
5 They will speak of your majesty, your glorious splendor, and I will meditate on the wonderful things you have done.
הֲ֭דַר כְּבֹ֣וד הֹודֶ֑ךָ וְדִבְרֵ֖י נִפְלְאֹותֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃
6 They will speak of the power of your awesome actions, and I will say how wonderful you are.
וֶעֱז֣וּז נֹורְאֹתֶ֣יךָ יֹאמֵ֑רוּ וּגְדוּלֹּתֶיךָ (וּגְדוּלָּתְךָ֥) אֲסַפְּרֶֽנָּה׃
7 They will explain to everyone how famous you are for your tremendous goodness, and joyfully celebrate how you always do what is right.
זֵ֣כֶר רַב־טוּבְךָ֣ יַבִּ֑יעוּ וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, not easily angered, and full of trustworthy love.
חַנּ֣וּן וְרַח֣וּם יְהוָ֑ה אֶ֥רֶךְ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם וּגְדָל־חָֽסֶד׃
9 The Lord is good to everyone, and he shows mercy to all his created beings.
טֹוב־יְהוָ֥ה לַכֹּ֑ל וְ֝רַחֲמָ֗יו עַל־כָּל־מַעֲשָֽׂיו׃
10 All the created beings will thank you, Lord, and all who faithfully follow you will praise you.
יֹוד֣וּךָ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יךָ יְבָרֲכֽוּכָה׃
11 They will praise the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power.
כְּבֹ֣וד מַלְכוּתְךָ֣ יֹאמֵ֑רוּ וּגְבוּרָתְךָ֥ יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃
12 They will explain to people your wonderful miracles, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
לְהֹודִ֤יעַ ׀ לִבְנֵ֣י הָ֭אָדָם גְּבוּרֹתָ֑יו וּ֝כְבֹ֗וד הֲדַ֣ר מַלְכוּתֹֽו׃
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.
מַֽלְכוּתְךָ֗ מַלְכ֥וּת כָּל־עֹֽלָמִ֑ים וּ֝מֶֽמְשֶׁלְתְּךָ֗ בְּכָל־דֹּ֥ור וָדֹֽור׃
14 The Lord helps up all those who fall down; he lifts up all those who are bowed down.
סֹומֵ֣ךְ יְ֭הוָה לְכָל־הַנֹּפְלִ֑ים וְ֝זֹוקֵ֗ף לְכָל־הַכְּפוּפִֽים׃
15 All eyes are on you, waiting in hope, and you give food at just the right time.
עֵֽינֵי־כֹ֭ל אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּ֑רוּ וְאַתָּ֤ה נֹֽותֵן־לָהֶ֖ם אֶת־אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתֹּֽו׃
16 You give generously and satisfy the needs of every living thing.
פֹּותֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכָל־חַ֣י רָצֹֽון׃
17 The Lord does right in everything—his actions are always trustworthy.
צַדִּ֣יק יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־דְּרָכָ֑יו וְ֝חָסִ֗יד בְּכָל־מַעֲשָֽׂיו׃
18 The Lord is close to all who ask for his help, to all who ask in sincerity.
קָרֹ֣וב יְ֭הוָה לְכָל־קֹרְאָ֑יו לְכֹ֤ל אֲשֶׁ֖ר יִקְרָאֻ֣הוּ בֶאֱמֶֽת׃
19 He satisfies the needs of those who follow him. He hears their cries for help and he saves them.
רְצֹון־יְרֵאָ֥יו יַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְֽאֶת־שַׁוְעָתָ֥ם יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע וְיֹושִׁיעֵֽם׃
20 The Lord takes care of all those who love him, but he will destroy all those who are wicked.
שֹׁומֵ֣ר יְ֭הוָה אֶת־כָּל־אֹהֲבָ֑יו וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־הָרְשָׁעִ֣ים יַשְׁמִֽיד׃
21 I will speak in praise of the Lord, and may everyone honor his holy character, forever and ever.
תְּהִלַּ֥ת יְהוָ֗ה יְֽדַבֶּ֫ר־פִּ֥י וִיבָרֵ֣ךְ כָּל־בָּ֭שָׂר שֵׁ֥ם קָדְשֹׁ֗ו לְעֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
