Psalms 145

1
I will extol you, my God, O king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever.  2Every day will
I bless you; and I will praise your name for ever and ever.  3Great is the LORD, and greatly to be
praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.  4One generation shall praise your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.  5I will speak of the glorious honor of your majesty, and of
your wondrous works.  6And men shall speak of the might of your terrible acts: and I will declare
your greatness.  7They shall abundantly utter the memory of your great goodness, and shall sing
of your righteousness.  8The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of
great mercy.  9The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.  10All your
works shall praise you, O LORD; and your saints shall bless you.  11They shall speak of the glory
of your kingdom, and talk of your power;  12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.  13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your
dominion endures throughout all generations.  14The LORD upholds all that fall, and raises up all
those that be bowed down.  15The eyes of all wait on you; and you give them their meat in due
season.  16You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.  17The LORD is
righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.  18The LORD is near to all them that call on
him, to all that call on him in truth.  19He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will
hear their cry, and will save them.  20The LORD preserves all them that love him: but all the
wicked will he destroy.  21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless
his holy name for ever and ever.

Psalms 146
1
Praise you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.  2While I live will I praise the LORD: I will
sing praises to my God while I have any being.  3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of
man, in whom there is no help.  4His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his
thoughts perish.  5Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD
his God:  6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for
ever:  7Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD
looses the prisoners:  8The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are
bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:  9The LORD preserves the strangers; he relieves the
fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.  10The LORD shall reign
for ever, even your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise you the LORD.

Psalms 147:1-19
1
Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is
comely.  2The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.  3He
heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.  4He tells the number of the stars; he calls
them all by their names.  5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6
The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.  7Sing to the LORD with
thanksgiving; sing praise on the harp to our God:  8Who covers the heaven with clouds, who
prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the mountains.  9He gives to the beast his
food, and to the young ravens which cry.  10He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes
not pleasure in the legs of a man.  11The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that
hope in his mercy.  12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.  13For he has
strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.  14He makes peace
in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.  15He sends forth his commandment on
earth: his word runs very swiftly.  16He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17
He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?  18He sends out his word, and
melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.  19He shows his word to Jacob, his
statutes and his judgments to Israel.
