Psalms 145:1-15

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.
