Psalm 145

1I will exalt thee, my God, my King! And will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2Every day will I bless thee, And praise thy name for ever and ever.

3Great is Jehovah, and to be praised greatly, And his greatness is incomprehensible.

4Generation to generation shall praise thy works, And thy power they shall declare.

5Upon the majesty of the glory of thy excellence, And upon the words of thy wonders, I will meditate.

6And the might of thy terrible works shall they recount; And thy greatness I will declare.

7The memory of the greatness of thy goodness they shall speak forth; And of thy righteousness they shall sing.

8Gracious and compassionate is Jehovah, Slow to anger and great in clemency.

9Good is Jehovah to all, And his compassions are over all his works.

10Celebrate thee, O Jehovah! shall all thy works, And thy meek ones shall bless thee.

11Of the glory of thy kingdom they shall tell, And of thy power they shall speak:

12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, And the glory of the beauty of his kingdom.

13Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, And thy dominion is throughout generations of generations.

14Uphold doth Jehovah all the falling, He raiseth up all who are bowed down.

15The eyes of all in thee do hope, And thou givest them their food in its season.

16Thou openest thy hand And satisfiest every living creature by thy good pleasure.

17Righteous is Jehovah in all his ways, And merciful in all his works.

18Near is Jehovah to all who call upon him, To all who call upon him in truth.

19The desire of those who fear him he will perform, And their cry he will hear, told he will save then,.

20Keep doth Jehovah all who love him, And all the wicked he will destroy.

21The praise of Jehovah speak shall my mouth: And bless shall all flesh his holy name for ever and ever.
