Psalms 145
1 A psalm of praise. Of David. I will extol you, my God, King; I will bless your name forever and ever.
A Song of praise. Of David. Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless you; I will praise your name forever and ever.
Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised; his greatness is unsearchable.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.
4 One generation will praise your deeds to the next and will proclaim your mighty actions.
One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.
5 I will meditate on the majesty of your glory and on your marvelous deeds.
My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.
6 They will speak of the power of your awesome works, and I will declare your greatness.
Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.
7 They will declare your abounding goodness, and they will sing about your righteousness.
Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.
8 Yahweh is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in covenant faithfulness.
The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.
9 Yahweh is good to all; his tender mercies are over all his works.
The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.
10 All you have made will give thanks to you, Yahweh; your faithful ones will bless you.
All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.
11 Your faithful ones will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and they will tell of your power.
Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;
12 They will make known to mankind God's mighty deeds and the glorious splendor of his kingdom.
So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.
14 Yahweh supports all who are falling and raises up all those who are bent over.
The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.
15 The eyes of all wait for you; you give them their food at the right time.
The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.
16 You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
17 Yahweh is righteous in all his ways and gracious in all he does.
The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
18 Yahweh is near to all those who call to him, to all who call to him in trustworthiness.
The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.
19 He fulfills the desire of those who honor him; he hears their cry and saves them.
To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.
20 Yahweh watches over all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.
21 My mouth will speak out the praise of Yahweh; let all mankind bless his holy name forever and ever.
My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
