Jehovah Extolled for His Goodness

A Psalm of praise; of David.


[1]	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 satisfiest 1 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.

Note 1. Or, satisfiest every living thing with favor. [back]
