1 A song of praise. Of David. I will exalt you, my God, O king: I will praise your name for ever and ever.

A Psalm of praise. Of David. I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2 I will bless you every day: I will praise your name for ever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord and worthy all praise, his greatness is unsearchable.

Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One age to another shall praise your deeds, declaring the mighty things you have done.

One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 Of your glorious majesty they shall tell, and I will muse of your many wonders.

I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

6 Of the might of your terrible acts they shall speak, and the tale of your great deeds I will tell.

And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.

7 The fame of your abundant goodness and righteousness they shall pour forth in song.

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is full of grace and pity, patient and rich in loving-kindness.

Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.

9 The Lord is good to all the world, and his pity is over all things that he made.

Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All your works give you thanks, O Lord, and you are blessed of those who love you.

All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.

11 They shall speak of your glorious kingdom, and of your might shall they discourse,

They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;

12 making known to all his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.

13 Yours is a kingdom that lives through all ages: through all generations extends your dominion.

Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.

14 The Lord upholds all who fall; he lifts up all who are bowed down.

Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all look in hope to you, and you give them their food in due season.

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

16 You yourself open your hand, and fill with your favour all things that live.

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

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, gracious is he in all that he does.

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

18 The Lord is near to all who call him, to all who call upon him in truth.

Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will fulfil the desires of those who fear him; he will hear their cry for help and save them.

He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.

20 The Lord is the keeper of all who love him, but all the wicked will he destroy.

Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth will utter the praise of the Lord, and all life will bless his holy name for ever and ever.

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
