< Psalms 145 >
1 A Psalme of David of Praise. O my God and King, I will extold thee, and will blesse thy Name for euer and euer.
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 I will blesse thee dayly, and prayse thy Name for euer and euer.
Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and most worthy to be praysed, and his greatnes is incomprehensible.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.
4 Generation shall praise thy works vnto generation, and declare thy power.
One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.
5 I wil meditate of the beautie of thy glorious maiestie, and thy wonderfull workes,
My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.
6 And they shall speake of the power of thy fearefull actes, and I will declare thy greatnes.
Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.
7 They shall breake out into the mention of thy great goodnes, and shall sing aloude of thy righteousnesse.
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, slow to anger, and of great mercie.
The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are ouer all his workes.
The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy workes prayse thee, O Lord, and thy Saints blesse thee.
All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.
11 They shewe the glory of thy kingdome, and speake of thy power,
Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;
12 To cause his power to be knowen to the sonnes of men, and the glorious renoume of his kingdome.
So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.
Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.
14 The Lord vpholdeth all that fall, and lifteth vp all that are ready to fall.
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 waite vpon thee, and thou giuest them their meate in due season.
The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things liuing of thy good pleasure.
By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his wayes, and holy in all his workes.
The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
18 The Lord is neere vnto all that call vpon him: yea, to all that call vpon him in trueth.
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 wil fulfill the desire of them that feare him: he also wil heare their cry, and wil saue them.
To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.
20 The Lord preserueth all them that loue him: but he will destroy all the wicked.
The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.
21 My mouth shall speake the prayse of the Lord, and all flesh shall blesse his holy Name for euer and euer.
My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
