1{A Psalm of praise. Of David.} I will extol thee, my God, O 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 Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

4One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

6And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.

7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

8Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.

9Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.

11They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;

12To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.

13Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.

14Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.

15The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.

16Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

18Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

19He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.

20Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.

21My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
