1I WILL extol thee, O my LORD, the King; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3Great is our LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4One generation shall tell thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6And men shall speak of the might of thy wonderful acts; and I will declare thy greatness. 7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, thy righteous shall seek and shall find it. 8The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great mercy. 9The LORD is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his servants. 10All thy servants shall give thee thanks, O LORD, and thy saints shall praise thee. 11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power, 12To make known to the sons of men thy might and the glorious majesty of thy kingdom. 13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in his words and righteous in all his works. 14The LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down. 15The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in due season. 16Thou openest thy hand and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 17The LORD is righteous in all his ways and merciful in all his works. 18The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. 19He will fulfil the desire of those who worship him; he also will hear their cry and will save them. 20The LORD preserves all who love him; but all the wicked he will destroy. 21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
