Psalms 145
Psalm 145
A song of praise. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, my God, O king:I will bless your name for ever and ever.
2I will bless you every day:
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
3Great is the Lord and worthy all praise,
his greatness is unsearchable.
4One age to another shall praise your deeds,
declaring the mighty things you have done.
5Of your glorious majesty they shall tell,
and I will muse of your many wonders.
6Of the might of your terrible acts they shall speak,
and the tale of your great deeds I will tell.
7The fame of your abundant goodness
and righteousness they shall pour forth in song.
8The Lord is full of grace and pity,
patient and rich in loving-kindness.
9The Lord is good to all the world,
and his pity is over all things that he made.
10All your works give you thanks, O Lord,
and you are blessed of those who love you.
11They shall speak of your glorious kingdom,
and of your might shall they discourse,
12making known to people his mighty acts,
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13Yours is a kingdom that lives through all ages:
through all generations extends your dominion.
The Lord is faithful in all that he promises,
gracious is he in all that he does.
14The Lord upholds all who fall;
he lifts up all who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all look in hope to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
16You yourself open your hand,
and fill with your favour all things that live.
17The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
gracious is he in all that he does.
18The Lord is near to all who call him,
to all who call upon him in truth.
19He will fulfil the desires of those who fear him;
he will hear their cry for help and save them.
20The Lord is the keeper of all who love him,
but all the wicked will he destroy.
21My mouth will utter the praise of the Lord,
and all life will bless his holy name
for ever and ever.
