< Psalms 145 >

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.
`The ympne of Dauith. Mi God king, Y schal enhaunse thee; and Y schal blesse thi name in to the world, and in to the world of world.
2 I will blesse thee dayly, and prayse thy Name for euer and euer.
Bi alle daies Y schal blesse thee; and Y schal herie thi name in to the world, and in to the world of the world.
3 Great is the Lord, and most worthy to be praysed, and his greatnes is incomprehensible.
The Lord is greet, and worthi to be preisid ful myche; and noon ende is of his greetnesse.
4 Generation shall praise thy works vnto generation, and declare thy power.
Generacioun and generacioun schal preise thi werkis; and thei schulen pronounse thi power.
5 I wil meditate of the beautie of thy glorious maiestie, and thy wonderfull workes,
Thei schulen speke `the greet doyng of the glorie of thin holynesse; and thei schulen telle thi merueils.
6 And they shall speake of the power of thy fearefull actes, and I will declare thy greatnes.
And thei schulen seye the vertu of thi ferdful thingis; and thei schulen telle thi greetnesse.
7 They shall breake out into the mention of thy great goodnes, and shall sing aloude of thy righteousnesse.
Thei schulen bringe forth the mynde of the abundaunce of thi swetnesse; and thei schulen telle with ful out ioiyng thi riytfulnesse.
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great mercie.
The Lord is a merciful doere, and merciful in wille; paciente, and myche merciful.
9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are ouer all his workes.
The Lord is swete in alle thingis; and hise merciful doyngis ben on alle hise werkis.
10 All thy workes prayse thee, O Lord, and thy Saints blesse thee.
Lord, alle thi werkis knouleche to thee; and thi seyntis blesse thee.
11 They shewe the glory of thy kingdome, and speake of thy power,
Thei schulen seie the glorie of thi rewme; and thei schulen speke thi power.
12 To cause his power to be knowen to the sonnes of men, and the glorious renoume of his kingdome.
That thei make thi power knowun to the sones of men; and the glorie of the greetnesse of thi rewme.
13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.
Thi rewme is the rewme of alle worldis; and thi lordschipe is in al generacioun and in to generacioun. The Lord is feithful in alle hise wordis; and hooli in alle hise werkis.
14 The Lord vpholdeth all that fall, and lifteth vp all that are ready to fall.
The Lord liftith vp alle that fallen doun; and reisith alle men hurtlid doun.
15 The eyes of all waite vpon thee, and thou giuest them their meate in due season.
Lord, the iyen of alle beestis hopen in thee; and thou yyuest the mete of hem in couenable tyme.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things liuing of thy good pleasure.
Thou openest thin hond; and thou fillist ech beeste with blessing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his wayes, and holy in all his workes.
The Lord is iust in alle hise weies; and hooli in alle hise werkis.
18 The Lord is neere vnto all that call vpon him: yea, to all that call vpon him in trueth.
The Lord is niy to alle that inwardli clepen him; to alle that inwardli clepen him in treuthe.
19 He wil fulfill the desire of them that feare him: he also wil heare their cry, and wil saue them.
He schal do the wille of hem, that dreden him, and he schal here the biseching of hem; and he schal make hem saaf.
20 The Lord preserueth all them that loue him: but he will destroy all the wicked.
The Lord kepith alle men louynge him; and he schal leese alle synners.
21 My mouth shall speake the prayse of the Lord, and all flesh shall blesse his holy Name for euer and euer.
Mi mouth schal speke the heriyng of the Lord; and ech man blesse his hooli name in to the world, and in to the world of world.
