Psalms 144
1David’s Psalm of praise. 1 I will exalt thee, my God, my king; 1 And I will bless thy name forever and ever. 1
2Every day will I bless thee, 1 And I will praise thy name forever and ever. 1
3The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; 1 And there is no end of his greatness. 1
4Generation after generation shall praise thy works, 1 And tell of thy power. 1
5And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of thy holiness, 1 And recount thy wonders. 1
6And they shall speak of the power of thy terrible acts; 1 And recount thy greatness. 1
7They shall utter the memory of the abundance of thy goodness, 1 And shall exult in thy righteousness. 1
8The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; 1 Long-suffering, and abundant in mercy. 1
9The Lord is good to those that wait on him; 1 And his compassions are over all his works. 1
10Let all thy works, O Lord, give thanks to thee; 1 And let thy saints bless thee. 1
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, 1 And talk of thy dominion; 1
12To make known to the sons of men thy power, 1 And the glorious majesty of thy kingdom. 1
13a The Lord is faithful in his words, 1 And holy in all his works. 1
14The Lord supports all that are falling, 1 And sets up all that are broken down. 1
15The eyes of all wait upon thee; 1 And thou givest them their food in due season. 1
16Thou openest thy hands, 1 And fillest every living thing with pleasure. 1
17The Lord is righteous in all his ways, 1 And holy in all his works. 1
18The Lord is near to all that call upon him, 1 To all that call upon him in truth. 1
19He will perform the desire of them that fear him: 1 And he will hear their supplication, and save them. 1
20The Lord preserves all that love him: 1 But all sinners he will utterly destroy. 1
21My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: 1 And let all flesh bless his holy name 1 Forever and ever.
