1Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless Thy name to the age and for ever.

1Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

1 Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever.

2Every day do I bless Thee, And praise Thy name to the age and for 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 give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.

3Great <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching.

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

3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.

4Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare.

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

4One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.

5The honour--the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare.

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

5My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.

6And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount.

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

6Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.

7The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing.

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:

7Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

8Gracious and merciful <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness.

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

8The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.

9Good <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah to all, And His mercies <FI>are<Fi> 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.

9The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.

10Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee.

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

10All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.

11The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And <FI>of<Fi> Thy might they speak,

11Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;

12To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom.

12So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.

13Thy kingdom <FI>is<Fi> a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion <FI>is<Fi> in all generations.

13Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.

15The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.

16Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing.
