Psalms 145

1 “A hymn of praise by David.” I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

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

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

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

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

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

4 One generation shall praise thy works to the other, and thy mighty acts shall they declare.

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

5 On the majestic glory of thy excellence, and on thy wondrous deeds will I meditate.

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

6 And of the might of thy terrible acts shall men converse: and thy greatness will I relate.

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

7 The memorial of thy abundant goodness shall they loudly proclaim, and they shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.

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

8 Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness.

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

9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works.

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

10 All thy works shall thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee.

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

11 Of the glory of thy kingdom shall they converse, and of thy might shall they speak:

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

12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

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

13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all eternities, and thy dominion [subsisteth] throughout all generations.

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.

14 The Lord upholdeth all who are falling, and raiseth up all those who are bowed down.

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

15 The eyes of all wait hopefully upon thee, and thou givest them their food in its due season.

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

16 Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

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

17 Righteous is the Lord in all his ways, and beneficent in all his works.

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

18 The Lord is nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

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

19 The desire of those who fear him will he fulfill, and their cry will he hear, and save them.

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

20 The Lord preserveth all those who love him; but all the wicked will he destroy.

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

21 The praise of the Lord shall my mouth speak: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

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