Psalm 145

Great Is the Lord

A Song of Praise. Of David.

1  I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever.
2  Every day I will bless you
and praise your name forever and ever.
3  Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.

4  One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
5  On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6  They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness.
7  They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8  The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9  The Lord is good to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10  All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
and all your saints shall bless you!
11  They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
and tell of your power,
12  to make known to the children of man yourt mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
[The Lord is faithful in all his words
and kind in all his works.]t
14  The Lord upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15  The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
16  You open your hand;
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17  The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and kind in all his works.
18  The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
19  He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.
20  The Lord preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.

21  My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145

1 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 greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall laud thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; And I will declare thy greatness.

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

8 Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

9 Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; And thy saints shall bless thee.

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

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

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait for thee; And thou givest them their food in due season.

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

17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, And gracious in all his works.

18 Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.

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

20 Jehovah preserveth all them that love him; But 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.
