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.
1By David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—
2Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
3The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
3Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
4Generation after generation shall praise your works, and tell of your power.
4Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders.
5Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6And they shall speak of the power of your terrible [acts]; and recount your greatness.
6Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
7They shall utter the memory of the abundance of your goodness, and shall exult in your righteousness.
7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
8The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
8whose mouths speak deceit, whose 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 to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
10Let all your works, O Lord, give thanks to you; and let your saints bless you.
10You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
11They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your dominion;
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose 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.
12Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn 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.
13Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
14Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
15The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give [them] their food in due season.
15Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.
