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.

PSALM 145
1 The psalm of David. My God, king, I shall enhance thee; and I shall bless thy name into the world, and into the world of world.
2By all days I shall bless thee; and I shall praise thy name into the world, and into the world of the world.
3The Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; and none end there is of his greatness.
4Generation and generation shall praise thy works; and they shall pro-nounce, either tell afar, thy power.
5They shall speak of the magnifi-cence of the glory of thine holiness; and they shall tell of all thy marvels.
6And they shall say of the strength of thy fearedful things; and they shall tell of thy greatness.
7They shall bring forth the mind of the abundance of thy sweetness; and they shall tell with full out joying of thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
8The Lord is a merciful doer and merciful in will; patient, and much merciful.
9The Lord is sweet in all things; and his merciful doings be above all his works.
10Lord, all thy works acknowledge to thee; and thy saints bless thee.
11They shall say [of] the glory of thy realm; and they shall speak of thy power.
12That they make thy power known to the sons of men; and the glory of the magnificence of thy realm.
13Thy realm is the realm of all worlds; and thy lordship is in all generation and into generation. The Lord is faithful in all his words; and holy in all his works.
14The Lord lifteth up all that fall down; and raiseth up all men hurtled down.
15Lord, the eyes of all beasts hope in thee; and thou givest the meat of them in covenable time.
16Thou openest thine hand; and thou [ful] fillest each beast with blessing.
17The Lord is just [or rightwise] in all his ways; and holy in all his works.
18The Lord is nigh to all that inward-ly call him; to all that inwardly call him in truth.
19He shall do the will of them, that dread him; and he shall hear the beseeching of them, and he shall make them safe.
20The Lord keepeth all men loving him; and he shall lose all sinners.
21My mouth shall speak the praising of the Lord; and each man bless his holy name into the world, and into the world of world.
