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.

A song of praise by David.
1I will highly praise you, my God, the king.
I will bless your name forever and ever.
2I will bless you every day.
I will praise your name forever and ever.
3The Lord is great, and he should be highly praised.
His greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation will praise your deeds to the next.
Each generation will talk about your mighty acts.
5I will think about the glorious honor of your majesty
and the miraculous things you have done.
6People will talk about the power of your terrifying deeds,
and I will tell about your greatness.
7They will announce what they remember of your great goodness,
and they will joyfully sing about your righteousness.
8The Lord is merciful, compassionate, patient,
and always ready to forgive.
9The Lord is good to everyone
and has compassion for everything that he has made.
10Everything that you have made will give thanks to you, O Lord,
and your faithful ones will praise you.
11Everyone will talk about the glory of your kingdom
and will tell the descendants of Adam about your might
12in order to make known your mighty deeds
and the glorious honor of your kingdom.
13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
Your empire endures throughout every generation.
14The Lord supports everyone who falls.
He straightens ⌞the backs⌟ of those who are bent over.
15The eyes of all creatures look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.
16You open your hand,
and you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17The Lord is fair in all his ways
and faithful in everything he does.
18The Lord is near to everyone who prays to him,
to every faithful person who prays to him.
19He fills the needs of those who fear him.
He hears their cries for help and saves them.
20The Lord protects everyone who loves him,
but he will destroy all wicked people.
21My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and all living creatures will praise his holy name
forever and ever.
