PSALM 145
First Version
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1I'll thee extol, my God, O King;
I'll bless thy name always.
2Thee will I bless each day, and will
thy name for ever praise.
3Great is the Lord, much to be prais'd;
his greatness search exceeds.
4Race unto race shall praise thy works,
and shew thy mighty deeds.
5I of thy glorious majesty
the honour will record;
I'll speak of all thy mighty works,
which wondrous are, O Lord.
6Men of thine acts the might shall show,
thine acts that dreadful are;
And I, thy glory to advance,
thy greatness will declare.
7The mem'ry of thy goodness great
they largely shall express;
With songs of praise they shall extol
thy perfect righteousness.
8The Lord is very gracious,
in him compassions flow;
In mercy he is very great,
and is to anger slow.
9The Lord JEHOVAH unto all
his goodness doth declare;
And over all his other works
his tender mercies are.
10Thee all thy works shall praise, O Lord,
and thee thy saints shall bless;
11They shall thy kingdom's glory show,
thy pow'r by speech express:
12To make the sons of men to know
his acts done mightily,
And of his kingdom th' excellent
and glorious majesty.
13Thy kingdom shall for ever stand,
thy reign through ages all.
14God raiseth all that are bow'd down,
upholdeth all that fall.
15The eyes of all things wait on thee,
the giver of all good;
And thou, in time convenient,
bestow'st on them their food:
16Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally,
and of thy bounty gives
Enough to satisfy the need
of ev'ry thing that lives.
17The Lord is just in all his ways,
holy in his works all.
18God's near to all that call on him,
in truth that on him call.
19He will accomplish the desire
of those that do him fear:
He also will deliver them,
and he their cry will hear.
20The Lord preserves all who him love,
that nought can them annoy:
But he all those that wicked are
will utterly destroy.
21My mouth the praises of the Lord
to publish cease shall never:
Let all flesh bless his holy name
for ever and for ever.

1Praise. By David:
I will praise you to the heights, my God, the king;
I will bless your name forever and ever.
2Every day I will bless you;
I will praise your name forever and ever.
3Great is Adonai and greatly to be praised;
his greatness is beyond all searching out.
4Each generation will praise your works to the next
and proclaim your mighty acts.
5I will meditate on the glorious splendor
of your majesty and on the story of your wonders.
6People will speak of your awesome power,
and I will tell of your great deeds.
7They will gush forth the fame of your abounding goodness,
and they will sing of your righteousness.
8Adonai is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in grace.
9Adonai is good to all;
his compassion rests on all his creatures.
10All your creatures will thank you, Adonai,
and your faithful servants will bless you.
11They will speak of the glory of your kingship,
and they will tell about your might;
12to let everyone know of your mighty acts
and the glorious majesty of your kingship.
13Your kingship is an everlasting kingship,
your reign continues through all generations.
14Adonai supports all who fall
and lifts up all who are bent over.
15The eyes of all are looking to you;
you give them their food at the right time.
16You open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17Adonai is righteous in all his ways,
full of grace in all he does.
18Adonai is close to all who call on him,
to all who sincerely call on him.
19He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
20Adonai protects all who love him,
but all the wicked he destroys.
21My mouth will proclaim the praise of Adonai;
all people will bless his holy name forever and ever.
