Psalms 145

1 A praise psalm by David. I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.

“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 will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.

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

3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

Great is the Lord, and greatly praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.

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

5 I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works.

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

6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.

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

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

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

8 The LORD is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

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

9 The LORD is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All your works will give thanks to you, LORD. Your saints will extol you.

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

11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power,

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

12 to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, 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 an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and loving in all his deeds.

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

14 The LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all those 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 wait for you. You give them their food in due season.

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

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

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

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.

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

18 The LORD is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

The Lord is nigh unto 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.

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

20 The LORD preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.

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

21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

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