Psalm 145

 

1   David’s Psalm of praise.  I will extol you, my God,
O king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever.

2  Every day will I bless you; and I will praise your name
for ever and ever.

3  Great is ADONAI, and greatly to be praised; and his
greatness is unsearchable.

4  One generation shall praise your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.

5  I will speak of the glorious honor of your majesty,
and of your wondrous works.

6  And men shall speak of the might of your terrible acts:
and I will declare your greatness.

7  They shall abundantly utter the memory of your great
goodness, and shall sing of your righteousness.

8  ADONAI is gracious, and full of compassion;
slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9  ADONAI is good to all: and his tender mercies
are
over all his works.

10  All your works shall praise you, ADONAI;
and your saints shall bless you.

11  They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and talk of your power;

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

13  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your
dominion endures throughout all generations.

14  ADONAI upholds all that fall, and raises up
all those that be bowed down.

15  The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give
them their meat in due season.

16  You open your hand, and satisfy the desire
of every living thing.

17  ADONAI is righteous in all his ways,
and holy in all his works.

18  ADONAI is near to all them that call upon him,
to all that call on him in truth.

19  He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him:
he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20  ADONAI preserves all them that love him:
but all the wicked will he destroy.

21  My mouth shall speak the praise of ADONAI:
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
