1(145) David's Psalm of praise. I will exalt you, my God, my king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever.
2Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name for ever and ever.
3The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
4Generation after generation shall praise your works, and tell of your power.
5And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders.
6And they shall speak of the power of your terrible acts; and recount your greatness.
7They shall utter the memory of the abundance of your goodness, and shall exult in your righteousness.
8The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
9The Lord is good to those that wait on him; and his compassions are over all his works.
10Let all your works, O Lord, give thanks to you; and let your saints bless you.
11They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your dominion;
12to make known to the sons of men your power, and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.
14The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
15The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give them their food in due season.
16You open your hands, and fill every living thing with pleasure.
17The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
20The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.
21My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
