¹Praise. By David:

I will praise you to the heights, my God, the king;

I will bless your name forever and ever.

²Every day I will bless you;

I will praise your name forever and ever.

³Great is Adonai and greatly to be praised;

his greatness is beyond all searching out.

⁴Each generation will praise your works to the next

and proclaim your mighty acts.

⁵I will meditate on the glorious splendor

of your majesty and on the story of your wonders.

⁶People will speak of your awesome power,

and I will tell of your great deeds.

⁷They will gush forth the fame of your abounding goodness,

and they will sing of your righteousness.

⁸Adonai is merciful and compassionate,

slow to anger and great in grace.

⁹Adonai is good to all;

his compassion rests on all his creatures.

¹⁰All your creatures will thank you, Adonai ,

and your faithful servants will bless you.

¹¹They will speak of the glory of your kingship,

and they will tell about your might;

¹²to let everyone know of your mighty acts

and the glorious majesty of your kingship.

¹³Your kingship is an everlasting kingship,

your reign continues through all generations.

¹⁴Adonai supports all who fall

and lifts up all who are bent over.

¹⁵The eyes of all are looking to you;

you give them their food at the right time.

¹⁶You open your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

¹⁷Adonai is righteous in all his ways,

full of grace in all he does.

¹⁸Adonai is close to all who call on him,

to all who sincerely call on him.

¹⁹He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;

he hears their cry and saves them.

²⁰Adonai protects all who love him,

but all the wicked he destroys.

²¹My mouth will proclaim the praise of Adonai ;

all people will bless his holy name forever and ever.
