Psalms 145

1 David praiseth God for his fame, 8 for his goodness, 11 for his Kingdom, 14 for his providence, 17 for his saving mercy.

 145:1 ¶ Praise, for David himself. I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

 145:2 Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

 145:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.

 145:4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.

 145:5 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.

 145:6 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.

 145:7 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.

 145:8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.

 145:9 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

 145:10 Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

 145:11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

 145:12 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.

 145:13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.

 145:14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.

 145:15 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.

 145:16 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.

 145:17 The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.

 145:18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

 145:19 He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.

 145:20 The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.

 145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name forever; yea, for ever and ever.
