Psalms, 144

Exaltabo te, Deus.

[1] Praise, for David himself. I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. •

[2] Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

[3] Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end. •

[4] Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power. •

[5] They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works. •

[6] And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness. •

[7] They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice. •

[8] The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy. •

[9] The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. •

[10] Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee. •

[11] They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

[12] To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom. •

[13] Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works. •

[14] The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down. •

[15] The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season. •

[16] Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature. •

[17] The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works. •

[18] The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth. •

[19] He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them. •

[20] The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.

[21] My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name forever; yea, for ever and ever. •
