PSALM 145
1A David song of praise.
Let me exalt You, my God the king,ℵ
and let me bless Your name forevermore.
2Every day let me bless You,ב
and let me praise Your name forevermore.
3Great is the LORD and highly praised,ג
and His greatness cannot be fathomed.
4Let one generation to the next extol Your deedsד
and tell of Your mighty acts.
5Of the grandeur of Your glorious majestyה
and Your wondrous acts let me treat.
6And the power of Your fearsome deeds let them say,ו
and Your greatness let me recount.
7The fame of Your great goodness they utter,ז
and of Your bounty they joyously sing.
8Gracious and merciful is the LORD,ח
slow to anger, great in kindness.
9Good is the LORD to all,ט
and His mercy is over all His creatures.
10All Your creatures, LORD, acclaim You,י
and Your faithful ones bless You.
11The glory of Your kingship they say,כ
and of Your might they speak,
12to make known to humankind His mighty actsל
and the grandeur of His kingship’s glory.
13Your kingship is a kingship for all time,מ
and Your dominion for all generations.
14The LORD props up all who fallס
and makes all who are bent stand erect.
15The eyes of all look in hope to Youע
and You give them their food in its season,
16opening Your handפ
and sating to their pleasure all living things.
17Just is the LORD in all His ways,צ
and faithful in all His deeds.
18Close is the LORD to all who call Him,ק
to all who call to Him in truth.
19The pleasure of those who fear Him He performs,ר
and their outcry He hears and rescues them.
20The LORD guards all who love Him,ש
and all the wicked He destroys.
21The LORD’s praise let my mouth speak,ת
and let all flesh bless His holy name
forevermore.
