Psalm 145

David’s Psalm of *praise.

1  aI 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  bGreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

†And his greatness is unsearchable.

4  cOne generation shall praise thy works to another,

And shall declare thy nmighty acts.

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

And of thy wondrous †works.

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

And I will †declare thy greatness.

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

And shall sing of thy righteousness.

8  hThe Lord is gracious, and full of compassion;

Slow to anger, and †of great mercy.

9  iThe Lord is good to all:

And his tender mercies are over all his works.

10  kAll thy works shall praise thee, O Lord;

And lthy saints shall bless thee.

11  They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,

And talk of thy power;

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

And othe glorious majesty of his kingdom.

13  pThy kingdom is †an everlasting kingdom,

And thy dominion endureth qthroughout all generations.

14  rThe Lord upholdeth all that fall,

And sraiseth up all those that be stbowed down.

15  The eyes of all ||wait upon thee;

And uthou givest them their meat vin due season.

16  wThou openest thine hand,

And xsatisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17  yThe Lord is righteous in all his ways,

And ||zholy in all his works.

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

To all that call upon him bin truth.

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

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

20  The Lord epreserveth all them that dlove him:

But all the wicked will he destroy.

21  My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord:

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