Psalms 145:1-150:6 I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever. ² Every day I will bless thee, and I will praise thy name forever and ever. ³ Great is LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. ⁴ One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. ⁵ I will meditate on the glorious majesty of thine honor, and of thy wondrous works. ⁶ And men shall speak of the might of thy fearful acts, and I will declare thy greatness. ⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. ⁸ LORD is gracious, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. ⁹ LORD is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works. ¹⁰ All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and thy sanctified shall bless thee. ¹¹ They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power, ¹² to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glory of the majesty of his kingdom. ¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion is throughout all generations. ¹⁴ LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down. ¹⁵ The eyes of all wait for thee, and thou give them their food in due season. ¹⁶ Thou open thy hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing. ¹⁷ LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works. ¹⁸ LORD is near to all those who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. ¹⁹ He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry and will save them. ²⁰ LORD preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked. ²¹ My mouth shall speak the praise of LORD. And let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever. ¹⁴⁶ ¹ Praise ye LORD. Praise LORD, O my soul. ² While I live I will praise LORD. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being. ³ Put not your trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. ⁴ His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth. In that very day his thoughts perish. ⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in LORD his God, ⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever, ⁷ who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. LORD releases the prisoners. ⁸ LORD opens the eyes of the blind. LORD raises up those who are bowed down. LORD loves the righteous. ⁹ LORD preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down. ¹⁰ LORD will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye LORD. ¹⁴⁷ ¹ Praise ye LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant, and praise is comely. ² LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. ³ He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. ⁴ He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names. ⁵ Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite. ⁶ LORD upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground. ⁷ Sing to LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God, ⁸ who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains. ⁹ He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. ¹⁰ He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. ¹¹ LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness. ¹² Praise LORD, O Jerusalem. Praise thy God, O Zion. ¹³ For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates. He has blessed thy sons within thee. ¹⁴ He makes peace in thy borders. He fills thee with the finest of the wheat. ¹⁵ He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly. ¹⁶ He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes. ¹⁷ He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold? ¹⁸ He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. ¹⁹ He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. ²⁰ He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye LORD. ¹⁴⁸ ¹ Praise ye LORD. Praise ye LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights. ² Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host. ³ Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light. ⁴ Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. ⁵ Let them praise the name of LORD. For he commanded, and they were created. ⁶ He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away. ⁷ Praise LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps, ⁸ fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word, ⁹ mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, ¹⁰ beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds, ¹¹ kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth, ¹² both young men and virgins, old men and sons. ¹³ Let them praise the name of LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens. ¹⁴ And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye LORD. ¹⁴⁹ ¹ Praise ye LORD. Sing to LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified. ² Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. ³ Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp. ⁴ For LORD takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. ⁵ Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds. ⁶ The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand ⁷ to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, ⁸ to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron, ⁹ to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye LORD. ¹⁵⁰ ¹ Praise ye LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in the firmament of his power. ² Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness. ³ Praise him with trumpet sound. Praise him with psaltery and harp. ⁴ Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. ⁵ Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with high sounding cymbals. ⁶ Let everything that has breath praise LORD. Praise ye LORD.
