1 A Psalme of David of Praise. O my God and King, I will extold thee, and will blesse thy Name for euer and euer.

“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 I will blesse thee dayly, and prayse thy Name for euer and euer.

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

3 Great is the Lord, and most worthy to be praysed, and his greatnes is incomprehensible.

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

4 Generation shall praise thy works vnto generation, and declare thy power.

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

5 I wil meditate of the beautie of thy glorious maiestie, and thy wonderfull workes,

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

6 And they shall speake of the power of thy fearefull actes, and I will declare thy greatnes.

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

7 They shall breake out into the mention of thy great goodnes, and shall sing aloude of thy righteousnesse.

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

8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great mercie.

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

9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are ouer all his workes.

The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works.

10 All thy workes prayse thee, O Lord, and thy Saints blesse thee.

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

11 They shewe the glory of thy kingdome, and speake of thy power,

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

12 To cause his power to be knowen to the sonnes of men, and the glorious renoume of his kingdome.

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

13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.

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

14 The Lord vpholdeth all that fall, and lifteth vp all that are ready to fall.

The Lord upholdeth all who are falling, and raiseth up all those who are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all waite vpon thee, and thou giuest them their meate in due season.

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

16 Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things liuing of thy good pleasure.

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

17 The Lord is righteous in all his wayes, and holy in all his workes.

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

18 The Lord is neere vnto all that call vpon him: yea, to all that call vpon him in trueth.

The Lord is nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

19 He wil fulfill the desire of them that feare him: he also wil heare their cry, and wil saue them.

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

20 The Lord preserueth all them that loue 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 shall speake the prayse of the Lord, and all flesh shall blesse his holy Name for euer and euer.

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