A psalm of praise. Of David.

1 I will exalt you, my God the King;

I will praise your name for ever and ever.

2 Every day I will praise you

and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lordand most worthy of praise;

his greatness no one can fathom.

4 One generation commends your works to another;

they tell of your mighty acts.

5 They speak of the glorious splendour of your majesty –

and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

6 They tell of the power of your awesome works –

and I will proclaim your great deeds.

7 They celebrate your abundant goodness

and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8 The Lordis gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger and rich in love.

9 The Lordis good to all;

he has compassion on all he has made.

10 All your works praise you, Lord;

your faithful people extol you.

11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom

and speak of your might,

12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts

and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lordis trustworthy in all he promises

and faithful in all he does.

14 The Lordupholds all who fall

and lifts up all who are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all look to you,

and you give them their food at the proper time.

16 You open your hand

and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

17 The Lordis righteous in all his ways

and faithful in all he does.

18 The Lordis near to all who call on him,

to all who call on him in truth.

19 He fulfils the desires of those who fear him;

he hears their cry and saves them.

20 The Lordwatches over all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.

Let every creature praise his holy name

for ever and ever.
