Psalms 144

¹The Praise of David himself. I will extol you, O God, my king. And I will bless your name, in this time and forever and ever

²Throughout every single day, I will bless you. And I will praise your name, in this time and forever and ever

³The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And there is no end to his greatness

⁴Generation after generation will praise your works, and they will declare your power

⁵They will tell of the magnificent glory of your sanctity. And they will discourse of your wonders

⁶And they will talk about the virtue of your terrible acts. And they will describe your greatness

⁷They will shout about the memory of your abundant sweetness. And they will exult in your justice

⁸The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy

⁹The Lord is sweet to all things, and his compassion is upon all his works

¹⁰O Lord, may all your works confess to you, and let your holy ones bless you

¹¹They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and they will declare your power

¹²so as to make known to the sons of men your power and the glory of your magnificent kingdom

¹³Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and your dominion is with all, from generation to generation. The Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all his works

¹⁴The Lord lifts up all who have fallen down, and he sets upright all who have been thrown down

¹⁵O Lord, all eyes hope in you, and you provide their food in due time

¹⁶You open your hand, and you fill every kind of animal with a blessing

¹⁷The Lord is just in all his ways and holy in all his works

¹⁸The Lord is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth

¹⁹He will do the will of those who fear him, and he will heed their supplication and accomplish their salvation

²⁰The Lord watches over all who love him. And he will destroy all sinners

²¹My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and may all flesh bless his holy name, in this time and forever and ever
