145 I will extol thee, my God, O King;
And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
² Every day will I bless thee;
And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
³ Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised;
And his greatness is unsearchable.
⁴ One generation shall laud thy works to another,
And shall declare thy mighty acts.
⁵ Of the glorious majesty of thine honor,
And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.
⁶ And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts;
And I will declare thy greatness.
⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness,
And shall sing of thy righteousness.
⁸ Jehovah is gracious, and merciful;
Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.
⁹ Jehovah is good to all;
And his tender mercies are over all his works.
¹⁰ All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah;
And thy saints shall bless thee.
¹¹ They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,
And talk of thy power;
¹² To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
¹⁴ Jehovah upholdeth all that fall,
And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.
¹⁵ The eyes of all wait for thee;
And thou givest them their food in due season.
¹⁶ Thou openest thy hand,
And ^[a]satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
¹⁷ Jehovah is righteous in all his ways,
And gracious in all his works.
¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
To all that call upon him in truth.
¹⁹ He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him;
He also will hear their cry and will save them.
²⁰ Jehovah preserveth all them that love him;
But all the wicked will he destroy.
²¹ My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah;
And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

8 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory ^[a]upon the heavens!
² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
⁵ For thou hast made him but little lower than ^[b]God,
And crownest him with glory and honor.
⁶ Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
⁷ All sheep and oxen,
Yea, and the beasts of the field,
⁸ The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
⁹ O Jehovah, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

9 I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;
I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
² I will be glad and exult in thee;
I will sing praise to thy name, O thou ^[c]Most High.
³ When mine enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish at thy presence.
⁴ For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
⁵ Thou hast rebuked the ^[d]nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
^6 [e]The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;
^[f]And the cities which thou hast ^[g]overthrown,
The very remembrance of them is perished.
⁷ But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:
He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
⁸ And he will judge the world in righteousness,
He will minister judgment to the ^[h]peoples in uprightness.
⁹ Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,
A high tower in times of trouble;
¹⁰ And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;
For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
¹¹ Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:
Declare among the ^[i]people his doings.
^12 [j]For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;
He forgetteth not the cry of the ^[k]poor.
¹³ Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;
Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
¹⁴ That I may show forth all thy praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion
I will rejoice in thy ^[l]salvation.
¹⁵ The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:
In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
¹⁶ Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:
^[m]The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,
Even all the nations that forget God.
¹⁸ For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,
Nor the expectation of the ^[n]poor perish for ever.
¹⁹ Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:
Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
²⁰ Put them in fear, O Jehovah:
Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah
