< Psalms 145 >
1 [A praise psalm by David.] I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.
3 Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised. His greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.
5 Of the glorious splendor of your majesty they will speak, of your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.
7 They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
8 YHWH is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.
9 YHWH is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All your works will give thanks to you, YHWH. And your faithful ones will bless you.
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power;
12 to make known to the descendants of Adam his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. YHWH is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds.
14 YHWH upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.
16 You yourself open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 YHWH is righteous in all his ways, and faithful in all his deeds.
18 YHWH is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 YHWH preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
21 My mouth will speak the praise of YHWH. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
