1 |
{A Psalm of praise. Of David.} I 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. --
|
3 |
Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. --
|
4 |
One 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. --
|
6 |
And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare. --
|
7 |
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. --
|
8 |
Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness. --
|
9 |
Jehovah 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. --
|
11 |
They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power; --
|
12 |
To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom. --
|
13 |
Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations. --
|
14 |
Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down. --
|
15 |
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season. --
|
16 |
Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. --
|
17 |
Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works. --
|
18 |
Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth. --
|
19 |
He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them. --
|
20 |
Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy. --
|
21 |
My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. --
