1. |
A Song of praise. Of David. Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever. |
2. |
Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever. |
3. |
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out. |
4. |
One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength. |
5. |
My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works. |
6. |
Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory. |
7. |
Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness. |
8. |
The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy. |
9. |
The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works. |
10. |
All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing. |
11. |
Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength; |
12. |
So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom. |
13. |
Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations. |
14. |
The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down. |
15. |
The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time. |
16. |
By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure. |
17. |
The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works. |
18. |
The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts. |
19. |
To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation. |
20. |
The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners. |
21. |
My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever. |
