Psalms 145
A praise psalm by David.†
1 I will exalt you, my God, the King.
I will praise your name forever and
ever.
2 Every day I will praise you.
I will extol your name forever and
ever.
3 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be
praised! His greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation will commend your
works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.
5 I will meditate on the glorious majesty of
your honor, on your wondrous works.
6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts.
I will declare your greatness.
7 They will utter the memory of your great
goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
8 Yahweh is gracious, merciful,
slow to anger, and of greatloving kindness.
9 Yahweh is good to all. His tender
mercies are over all his works.
10 All your works will give thanks to you,
Yahweh. Your saints will extol you.
11 They will speak of the glory of your
kingdom, and talk about your power,
12 to make known to the sons of men his
mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
Your dominion endures through out all generations.
Yahweh is faithful in all his words,
and loving in all his deeds.‡
14 Yahweh upholds all who fall,
and raises up all those who are bowed
down.
15 The eyes of all wait for you.
You give them their food in due season.
16 You open your hand, and satisfy
the desire of every living thing.
17 Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and gracious in all his works.
18 Yahweh is near to all those who call on
him, to all who call on him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire ofthose who fear
him. He also will hear their cry, and will
save them.
20 Yahweh preserves all those who love
him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
21 My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh.
Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
