Psalm CXLV.
1
Thee will I praise, my God, and King
And ever bless thy name:
From day to day I will extol,
And magnifie the same.
2
Great is the Lord, and great his praise;
His power exceeds our thought:
One age shall to anorher tell
What wonders he hath wrought.
3
I first will of thy honour speak,
And wondrous works declare:
Then men shall answer me and shew
How terrible they were.
4
And I again will shew the power
Of thee our mighty king:
And they at large thy goodness great,
And righteousness shall sing.
5
The Lord is kind and merciful,
To anger he is slow:
But over all that he has made
His tender mercies flow.
6
Thy works shall all declare thy praise,
Thy saints thy name shall bless:
And of thy glorious kingdom speak,
And mighty power confess.
7
That men may know thy mighty acts,
And greatness of thy throne:
And that thy glorious kingdom is
An everlasting one.
8
The Lord his people will uphold,
That ready are to fall:
And when afflictions bow them down,
The Lord will raise them all.
9
The eyes of all things wait on thee,
In season for their food:
Thou openest thy hand to them,
And fillest them with good.
10
The Lord in all his works and ways,
Is holy just and right:
And near to all that call on him
With hearts and minds upright.
11
The Lord will the desire fulfil
Of them that fear his name:
And in distress will hear their cry,
And will perform the same.
12
All those that him sincerely love,
The Lord will keep and save:
But wicked and ungodly men
Shall sure destruction have.
13
My mouth shall never cease to speak
The praise of God most high:
And let all flesh exalt his name
To all eternity.
