[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.
