Psalms 145

1 I will extol thee, myGod, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

1Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

1I 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.

2Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

3 Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

3In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

4 One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

4His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

4One generation shall laud thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

5Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

5Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

6 And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.

6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

6And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; And I will declare thy greatness.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

7Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

7They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.

8The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

8Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

9 Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.

9The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

10 All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.

10The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

10All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; And thy saints shall bless thee.

11 They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;
