Psalms 145:1-21

A praise, of David.

1 I will exalt you, O my God the King,
And I will bless your name to time indefinite, even forever.

2 All day long I will bless you,
And I will praise your name to time indefinite, even forever.

3 Jehovah is great and very much to be praised,
And his greatness is unsearchable.

4 Generation after generation will commend your works,
And about your mighty acts they will tell.

5 The glorious splendor of your dignity
And the matters of your wonderful works I will make my concern.

6 And they will talk about the strength of your own fear-inspiring things;
And as for your greatness, I will declare it.

7 With the mention of the abundance of your goodness they will bubble over,
And [because of] your righteousness they will cry out joyfully.

8 Jehovah is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger and great in loving-kindness.

9 Jehovah is good to all,
And his mercies are over all his works.

10 All your works will laud you, O Jehovah,
And your loyal ones will bless you.

11 About the glory of your kingship they will talk,
And about your mightiness they will speak,

12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts
And the glory of the splendor of his kingship.

13 Your kingship is a kingship for all times indefinite,
And your dominion is throughout all successive generations.

14 Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling,
And is raising up all who are bowed down.

15 To you the eyes of all look hopefully,
And you are giving them their food in its season.

16 You are opening your hand
And satisfying the desire of every living thing.

17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways
And loyal in all his works.

18 Jehovah is near to all those calling upon him,
To all those who call upon him in trueness.

19 The desire of those fearing him he will perform,
And their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them.

20 Jehovah is guarding all those loving him,
But all the wicked ones he will annihilate.

21 The praise of Jehovah my mouth will speak;
And let all flesh bless his holy name to time indefinite, even forever.
