Psalms 145:1–21

^{A praise, of David.}

^{א [’A′leph]}

¹I will exalt you, O my God the King,
And I will bless your name to time indefinite, even forever.

^{ב [Behth]2}All day long I will bless you,
And I will praise your name to time indefinite, even forever.

^{ג [Gi′mel]3}Jehovah is great and very much to be praised,
And his greatness is unsearchable.

^{ד [Da′leth]4}Generation after generation will commend your works,
And about your mighty acts they will tell.

^{ה [He’]5}The glorious splendor of your dignity
And the matters of your wonderful works I will make my concern.

^ו [Waw]6And they will talk about the strength of your own fear‐inspiring things;
And as for your greatness, I will declare it.

^{ז [Za′yin]7}With the mention of the abundance of your goodness they will bubble over,
And [because of] your righteousness they will cry out joyfully.

^{ח [Chehth]8}Jehovah is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger and great in loving‐kindness.

^{ט [Tehth]9}Jehovah is good to all,
And his mercies are over all his works.

^{י [Yohdh]10}All your works will laud you, O Jehovah,
And your loyal ones will bless you.

^{כ [Kaph]11}About the glory of your kingship they will talk,
And about your mightiness they will speak,

^{ל [La′medh]12}To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts
And the glory of the splendor of his kingship.

^מ [Mem]13Your kingship is a kingship for all times indefinite,
And your dominion is throughout all successive generations.

^{ס [Sa′mekh]14}Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling,
And is raising up all who are bowed down.

^{ע [‛A′yin]15}To you the eyes of all look hopefully,
And you are giving them their food in its season.

^{פ [Pe’]16}You are opening your hand
And satisfying the desire of every living thing.

^{צ [Tsa‧dheh′]17}Jehovah is righteous in all his ways
And loyal in all his works.

^{ק [Qohph]18}Jehovah is near to all those calling upon him,
To all those who call upon him in trueness.

^{ר [Rehsh]19}The desire of those fearing him he will perform,
And their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them.

^{ש [Shin]20}Jehovah is guarding all those loving him,
But all the wicked ones he will annihilate.

^ת [Taw]21The praise of Jehovah my mouth will speak;
And let all flesh bless his holy name to time indefinite, even forever.
