Chapter 145

  {A Psalm of praise. Of David.} I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.  

-

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

-

  Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.  

-

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

-

  I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.  

-

  And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.  

-

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

-

  Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.  

-

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

-

  All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.  

-

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

-

  To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.  

-

  Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.  

-

  Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.  

-

  The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.  

-

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

-

  Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.  

-

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

-

  He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.  

-

  Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.  

-

  My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
