[David's Psalm of praise.]
[1] I will exalt thee, my God, my king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
[2] Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
[3] The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
[4] Generation after generation shall praise thy works, and tell of thy power.
[5] And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of thy holiness, and recount thy wonders.
[6] And they shall speak of the power of thy terrible acts; and recount thy greatness.
[7] They shall utter the memory of the abundance of thy goodness, and shall exult in thy righteousness.
[8] The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
[9] The Lord is good to those that wait on him; and his compassions are over all his works.
[10] Let all thy works, O Lord, give thanks to thee; and let thy saints bless thee.
[11] They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy dominion;
[12] to make known to the sons of men thy power, and the glorious majesty of thy kingdom.
[13] Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.
[14] The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
[15] The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in due season.
[16] Thou openest thine hands, and fillest every living thing with pleasure.
[17] The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
[18] The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
[19] He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
[20] The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.
[21] My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
