< Psalms 145 >
1 A psalm of praise. Of David. I will extol you, my God, King; I will bless your name forever 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 you; I will praise your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
3 Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised; his greatness is unsearchable.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
4 One generation will praise your deeds to the next and will proclaim your mighty actions.
Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
5 I will meditate on the majesty of your glory and on your marvelous deeds.
They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
6 They will speak of the power of your awesome works, and I will declare your greatness.
And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
7 They will declare your abounding goodness, and they will sing about your righteousness.
They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
8 Yahweh is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in covenant faithfulness.
The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
9 Yahweh is good to all; his tender mercies are over all his works.
The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All you have made will give thanks to you, Yahweh; your faithful ones will bless you.
Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
11 Your faithful ones will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and they will tell of your power.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
12 They will make known to mankind God's mighty deeds and the glorious splendor of his kingdom.
To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures 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 Yahweh supports all who are falling and raises up all those who are bent over.
The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
15 The eyes of all wait for you; you give them their food at the right time.
The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
16 You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
17 Yahweh is righteous in all his ways and gracious in all he does.
The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.
18 Yahweh is near to all those who call to him, to all who call to him in trustworthiness.
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desire of those who honor him; he hears their cry and saves them.
He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.
20 Yahweh watches over all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.
21 My mouth will speak out the praise of Yahweh; let all mankind bless his holy name forever 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.
