1“A hymn of praise by David.” 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 praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation shall praise thy works to the other, and thy mighty acts shall they declare.
5On the majestic glory of thy excellence, and on thy wondrous deeds will I meditate.
6And of the might of thy terrible acts shall men converse: and thy greatness will I relate.
7The memorial of thy abundant goodness shall they loudly proclaim, and they shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.
8Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness.
9The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works.
10All thy works shall thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee.
11Of the glory of thy kingdom shall they converse, and of thy might shall they speak:
12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all eternities, and thy dominion subsisteth throughout all generations.
14The Lord upholdeth all who are falling, and raiseth up all those who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all wait hopefully upon thee, and thou givest them their food in its due season.
16Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17Righteous is the Lord in all his ways, and beneficent in all his works.
18The Lord is nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
19The desire of those who fear him will he fulfill, and their cry will he hear, and save them.
20The Lord preserveth all those who love him; but all the wicked will he destroy.
21The praise of the Lord shall my mouth speak: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
