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

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

Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy 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 praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

15 The eyes of all look to You, And You are giving their food to them in its season,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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