| Chapter 145 |
1 | {A Psalm of praise. Of David.} I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
|
2 | Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
|
3 | Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
|
4 | One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
|
5 | I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
|
6 | And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.
|
7 | They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
|
8 | Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.
|
9 | Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.
|
10 | All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.
|
11 | They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;
|
12 | To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.
|
13 | Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.
|
14 | Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.
|
15 | The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.
|
16 | Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
|
17 | Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
|
18 | Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.
|
19 | He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.
|
20 | Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.
|
21 | My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
