1(145) David's [Psalm of] praise. I will exalt you, my God, my king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever.
1Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
3Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4Generation after generation shall praise your works, and tell of your power.
4Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders.
5Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6And they shall speak of the power of your terrible [acts]; and recount your greatness.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7They shall utter the memory of the abundance of your goodness, and shall exult in your righteousness.
7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9The Lord is good to those that wait [on him]; and his compassions are over all his works.
9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10Let all your works, O Lord, give thanks to you; and let your saints bless you.
10It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your dominion;
11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12to make known to the sons of men your power, and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
12That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion [endures] through all generations. The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.
13That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
14That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give [them] their food in due season.
15Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
