David’s Psalm of praise.

^aI 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.

^3bGreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

And his greatness is unsearchable.

^4cOne generation shall praise thy works to another,

And shall declare thy ⁿmighty acts.

⁵I will ^dspeak of ^ethe glorious honour of thy majesty,

And of thy wondrous works.

⁶And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:

And I will declare thy greatness.

⁷They shall ^fabundantly utter the memory of thy ^ggreat goodness,

And shall sing of thy righteousness.

^8hThe Lord is gracious, and full of compassion;

Slow to anger, and of great mercy.

⁹ⁱThe Lord is good to all:

And his tender mercies are over all his works.

^10kAll thy works shall praise thee, O Lord;

And ^lthy saints shall bless thee.

¹¹They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,

And talk of thy power;

^12mTo make known to the sons of men his ⁿmighty acts,

And ^othe glorious majesty of his kingdom.

^13pThy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

And thy dominion endureth ^qthroughout all generations.

^14rThe Lord upholdeth all that fall,

And ^sraiseth up all those that be ^stbowed down.

¹⁵The eyes of all wait upon thee;

And ^uthou givest them their meat ^vin due season.

^16wThou openest thine hand,

And ^xsatisfiest the desire of every living thing.

^17yThe Lord is righteous in all his ways,

And ^zholy in all his works.

^18aThe Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,

To all that call upon him ^bin truth.

^19cHe will fulfil the desire of them that fear him:

He also ^dwill hear their cry, and will save them.

²⁰The Lord ^epreserveth all them that ^dlove him:

But all the wicked will he destroy.

²¹My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord:

And ^flet all flesh bless his holy name ^gfor ever and ever.
