Psalms 145

Tehillim

David's {Psalm} of praise.] I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3Great {is} the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness {is} unsearchable. {and his...: Heb. and of his greatness there is no search}

4One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. {works: Heb. things, or, words}

6And {men} shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. {declare: Heb. declare it}

7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

8The LORD {is} gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. {of great...: Heb. great in mercy}

9The LORD {is} good to all: and his tender mercies {are} over all his works.

10All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.

11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

13Thy kingdom {is} an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion {endureth} throughout all generations. {an...: Heb. a kingdom of all ages}

14The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all {those that be} bowed down.

15The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. {wait...: or, look unto}

16Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17The LORD {is} righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. {holy: or, merciful, or, bountiful}

18The LORD {is} nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
