| Chapter 145 |
1 | A Song of praise. Of David. Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever.
|
2 | Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.
|
3 | Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.
|
4 | One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.
|
5 | My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.
|
6 | Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.
|
7 | Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.
|
8 | The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.
|
9 | The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.
|
10 | All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.
|
11 | Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;
|
12 | So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.
|
13 | Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.
|
14 | The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.
|
15 | The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.
|
16 | By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
|
17 | The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
|
18 | The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.
|
19 | To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.
|
20 | The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.
|
21 | My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
