Psalm 145

¹ My God, O king, I’ll thee extol:

and bless thy name for aye.

² For ever will I praise thy name;

and bless thee every day.

³ Great is the Lord, most worthy praise:

his greatness search can none.

⁴ Age unto age shall praise thy works:

and thy great acts make known.

⁵ I of thy glor’ous honour will

speak of thy majesty;

and of the operations

by thee done wondrously.

⁶ Also men of thy mighty works

shall speak which dreadful are:

also concerning thy greatness,

it I will forth declare.

⁷ Thy great goodnesses’ memory

they largely shall express:

and they shall with a shouting voice

sing of thy righteousness.

⁸ The Lord is gracious, and he is

full of compassion:

slow unto anger, and full of

commiseration.

⁹ The Lord is good to all: o’er all

his works his mercies be.

¹⁰ All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord:

and thy saints shall bless thee.

¹¹ They’ll of thy kingdom’s glory speak:

and talk of thy pow’r high;

¹² To make men’s sons his great acts know:

his kingdom’s majesty.

¹³ Thy kingdom is a kingdom aye:

and thy reign lasts always.

¹⁴ The Lord doth hold up all that fall:

and all down bow’d ones raise.

¹⁵ All eyes wait on thee, and their meat

thou dost in season bring.

¹⁶ Open’st thy hand, and the desire

fill’st of each living thing.

¹⁷ In all his ways the Lord is just:

and holy in’s works all.

¹⁸ He’s near to all that call on him:

in truth that on him call.

¹⁹ He satisfy will the desire

of those that do him fear:

He will be safety unto them,

and when they cry he’ll hear.

²⁰ The Lord preserves each one of them

that lovers of him be:

but whosoever wicked are

abolish them doth he.

²¹ My mouth the praises of the Lord

by speaking shall express:

also all flesh his holy name

for evermore shall bless.
