Psalm 145

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

²Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.

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

¹⁶By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.

¹⁷The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

¹⁸The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.

¹⁹To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

²⁰The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.
