Psalm

145 I will exalt you, O my God the King,+

I will praise your name forever and ever.+

 2 All day long I will praise you;+

I will praise your name forever and ever.+

 3 Jehovah is great and most worthy of praise;+

His greatness is unsearchable.*+

 4 Generation after generation will praise your works;

They will tell about your mighty acts.+

 5 Of the glorious splendor of your majesty they will speak+

And on your wonderful works I will meditate.

 6 They will speak about your awe-inspiring deeds,*

And I will declare your greatness.

 7 They will bubble over as they recall your abundant goodness,+

And they will shout joyfully because of your righteousness.+

 8 Jehovah is compassionate* and merciful,+

Slow to anger and great in loyal love.+

 9 Jehovah is good to all,+

And his mercy is evident in all his works.

10 All your works will glorify you, O Jehovah,+

And your loyal ones will praise you.+

11 They will proclaim the glory of your kingship+

And speak about your mightiness,+

ל [Lamed]

12 To make known to men your mighty acts+

And the glorious splendor of your kingship.+

13 Your kingship is an eternal kingship,

And your dominion endures throughout all generations.+

14 Jehovah supports all who are falling+

And raises up all who are bowed down.+

15 All eyes look hopefully to you;

You give them their food in its season.+

16 You open your hand

And satisfy the desire of every living thing.+

17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways+

And loyal in all that he does.+

18 Jehovah is near to all those calling on him,+

To all who call on him in truth.*+

19 He satisfies the desire of those who fear him;+

He hears their cry for help, and he rescues them.+

20 Jehovah guards all those who love him,+

But all the wicked he will annihilate.+

21 My mouth will declare the praise of Jehovah;+

Let every living thing* praise his holy name forever and ever.+
