Psalms 145

1 A PRAISE [SONG] OF DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] I exalt You, my God, O king, And bless Your Name for all time and forever.

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 Every day I bless You, And praise Your Name for all time and forever.

Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.

3 YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, And there is no searching of His greatness.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.

4 Generation to generation praises Your works, And they declare Your mighty acts.

One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.

5 The majesty, the glory of Your splendor, And the matters of Your wonders, I declare.

My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.

6 And they tell of the strength of Your fearful acts, And I recount Your greatness.

Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.

7 They send forth the memorial of the abundance of Your goodness. And they sing of Your righteousness.

Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

8 YHWH [is] gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and great in kindness.

The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.

9 YHWH [is] good to all, And His mercies [are] over all His works.

The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.

10 O YHWH, all Your works confess You, And Your saints bless You.

All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.

11 They tell of the glory of Your kingdom, And they speak of Your might,

Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;

12 To make His mighty acts known to sons of men, The glory of the majesty of His kingdom.

So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.

13 Your kingdom [is] a kingdom of all ages, And Your dominion [is] in all generations. [[YHWH [is] faithful in all His words, And kind in all His works.]]

Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.

14 YHWH is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down.

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 look to You, And You are giving their food to them in its season,

The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.

16 Opening Your hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing.

By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.

17 YHWH [is] righteous in all His ways, And kind in all His works.

The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

18 YHWH [is] near to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.

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 does the desire of those fearing Him, And He hears their cry, and saves them.

To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

20 YHWH preserves all those loving Him, And He destroys all the wicked.

The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.

21 My mouth speaks the praise of YHWH, And all flesh blesses His Holy Name, For all time and forever!

My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
