| Chapter 145 |
1 | {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 | Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. |
3 | Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. |
4 | One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. |
5 | I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. |
6 | And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare. |
7 | They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. |
8 | Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness. |
9 | Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. |
10 | All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee. |
11 | They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power; |
12 | To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom. |
13 | Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations. |
14 | Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down. |
15 | The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season. |
16 | Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. |
17 | Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works. |
18 | Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth. |
19 | He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them. |
20 | Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy. |
21 | My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. |
