OEBcth - Psalms - 145

145:1  I will exalt you, my God, O king: I will bless your name for ever and ever.

145:2  I will bless you every day: I will praise your name for ever and ever.

145:3  Great is the Lord and worthy all praise, his greatness is unsearchable.

145:4  One age to another shall praise your deeds, declaring the mighty things you have done.

145:5  Of your glorious majesty they shall tell, and I will muse of your many wonders.

145:6  Of the might of your terrible acts they shall speak, and the tale of your great deeds I will tell.

145:7  The fame of your abundant goodness and righteousness they shall pour forth in song.

145:8  The Lord is full of grace and pity, patient and rich in loving-kindness.

145:9  The Lord is good to all the world, and his pity is over all things that he made.

145:10  All your works give you thanks, O Lord, and you are blessed of those who love you.

145:11  They shall speak of your glorious kingdom, and of your might shall they discourse,

145:12  making known to people his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

145:13  Yours is a kingdom that lives through all ages: through all generations extends your dominion. The Lord is faithful in all that he promises, gracious is he in all that he does.

145:14  The Lord upholds all who fall; he lifts up all who are bowed down.

145:15  The eyes of all look in hope to you, and you give them their food in due season.

145:16  You yourself open your hand, and fill with your favour all things that live.

145:17  The Lord is righteous in all his ways, gracious is he in all that he does.

145:18  The Lord is near to all who call him, to all who call upon him in truth.

145:19  He will fulfil the desires of those who fear him; he will hear their cry for help and save them.

145:20  The Lord is the keeper of all who love him, but all the wicked will he destroy.

145:21  My mouth will utter the praise of the Lord, and all life will bless his holy name for ever and ever.
