Psalm 145

¹I will extol thee, my God and King,

and bless thy name for ever and ever.

²Every day I will bless thee,

and praise thy name for ever and ever.

³Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,

and his greatness is unsearchable.

⁴One generation shall laud thy works to another,

and shall declare thy mighty acts.

⁵On the glorious splendor of thy majesty,

and on thy wondrous works, I will meditate.

⁶Men shall proclaim the might of thy terrible acts,

and I will declare thy greatness.

⁷They shall pour forth the fame of thy abundant goodness,

and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

⁸The Lord is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

⁹The Lord is good to all,

and his compassion is over all that he has made.

¹⁰All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O Lord,

and all thy saints shall bless thee!

¹¹They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,

and tell of thy power,

¹²to make known to the sons of men thy mighty deeds,

and the glorious splendor of thy kingdom.

¹³Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and thy dominion endures throughout all generations.

The Lord is faithful in all his words,

and gracious in all his deeds.

¹⁴The Lord upholds all who are falling,

and raises up all who are bowed down.

¹⁵The eyes of all look to thee,

and thou givest them their food in due season.

¹⁶Thou openest thy hand,

thou satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

¹⁷The Lord is just in all his ways,

and kind in all his doings.

¹⁸The Lord is near to all who call upon him,

to all who call upon him in truth.

¹⁹He fulfils the desire of all who fear him,

he also hears their cry, and saves them.

²⁰The Lord preserves all who love him;

but all the wicked he will destroy.

²¹My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
