The Psalms

Psalm 145

A Psalm of praise; of David.

 145:1I will extol thee, my God, O King;

 And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

 145:2Every day will I bless thee;

 And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

 145:3Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised;

 And his greatness is unsearchable.

 145:4One generation shall laud thy works to another,

 And shall declare thy mighty acts.

 145:5Of the glorious majesty of thine honor,

 And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

 145:6And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts;

 And I will declare thy greatness.

 145:7They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness,

 And shall sing of thy righteousness.

 145:8Jehovah is gracious, and merciful;

 Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

 145:9Jehovah is good to all;

 And his tender mercies are over all his works.

 145:10All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah;

 And thy saints shall bless thee.

 145:11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,

 And talk of thy power;

 145:12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,

 And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

 145:13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

 And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

 145:14Jehovah upholdeth all that fall,

 And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.

 145:15The eyes of all wait for thee;

 And thou givest them their food in due season.

 145:16Thou openest thy hand,

 And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

 145:17Jehovah is righteous in all his ways,

 And gracious in all his works.

 145:18Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him,

 To all that call upon him in truth.

 145:19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him;

 He also will hear their cry and will save them.

 145:20Jehovah preserveth all them that love him;

 But all the wicked will he destroy.

 145:21My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah;

 And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
