PSALM CXLV.

1 I'LL thee extol, my God, Q King; I'll bless thy name always.

2 Thee will I bless each day, and will thy name for ever praise.

3 Great is the Lord, much to be prais'd; his greatness search exceeds.

4 Race unto race shall praise thy works, and show thy mighty deeds.

5 I of thy glorious majesty

the honour will record;
I'll speak of all thy mighty works,
which wondrous are, O Lord.

6 Men of thine acts the might shall show,
thine acts that dreadful are;
And I, thy glory to advance,
thy greatness will declare.

7 The mem❜ry of thy goodness great they largely shall express; With songs of praise they shall extol thy perfect righteousness.

8 The Lord is very gracious, in him compassions flow; In mercy he is very great, and is to anger slow.

9 The Lord JEHOVAH unto all his goodness doth declare; And over all his other works his tender mercies are.

10 Thee all thy works shall praise, O Lord, and thee thy saints shall bless;

11 They shall thy kingdom's glory show, thy pow'r by speech express:

1 O LORD, thou art my God and King,
Thee will I magnify and praise:
I will thee bless, and gladly sing
Unto thy holy name always.

2 Each day I rise I will thee bless,
And praise thy name time without end.
3 Much to be prais'd, and great God is;
His greatness none can comprehend.
4 Race shall thy works praise unto race,
The mighty acts show done by thee.
5 I will speak of the glorious grace,
And honour of thy majesty;

Thy wondrous works I will record. 6 By men the might shall be extoll'd

Of all thy dreadful acts, O Lord: And I thy greatness will unfold. They utter shall abundantly The mem'ry of thy goodness great; And shall sing praises cheerfully, Whilst they thy righteousness relate. 8 The Lord our God is gracious, Compassionate is he also;

In mercy he is plenteous,"

But unto wrath and anger slow. 9 Good unto all men is the Lord; O'er all his works his mercy is.

10 Thy works all praise to thee afford: Thy saints, O Lord, thy name shall bless.

11 The glory of thy kingdom show Shall they, and of thy power tell:

12 That so men's sons his deeds may know,

His kingdom's grace that doth excel. 13 Thy kingdom hath none end at all, It doth through ages all remain. 14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall,

The cast-down raiseth up again.
15 The eyes of all things, Lord, attend,
And on thee wait that here do live,
And thou, in season due, dost send
Sufficient food them to relieve.

16 Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide,
And ev'ry thing dost satisfy
That lives, and doth on earth abide,
Of thy great liberality.

17 The Lord is just in his ways all, And holy in his works each one. 18 He's near to all that on him call,

Who call in truth on him alone. 19 God will the just desire fulfil

Of such as do him fear and dread: Their cry regard, and hear he will, And save them in the time of need. 20 The Lord preserves all, more and less, That bear to him a loving heart: But workers all of wickedness Destroy will he, and clean subvert. Therefore my mouth and lips I'll frame

21

To speak the praises of the Lord:

To magnify his holy name

For ever let all flesh accord.

7 Who righteous judgment executes
for those oppress'd that be,
Who to the hungry giveth food;
God sets the pris'ners free.

8 The Lord doth give the blind their sight,

the bowed down doth raise :

The Lord doth dearly love all those that walk in upright ways.

9 The stranger's shield, the widow's stay, the orphan's help, is he

But yet by him the wicked's way
turn'd upside down shall be.

10 The Lord shall reign for evermore :
thy God, O Sion, he

Reigns to all generations.

Praise to the Lord give ye.

1 PRAISE ye the Lord; for it is good praise to our God to sing:

For it is pleasant, and to praise it is a comely thing.

2 God doth build up Jerusalem; and he it is alone

That the dispers'd of Israel doth gather into one.

3 Those that are broken in their heart, and grieved in their minds,

He healeth, and their painful wounds he tenderly up-binds.

4 He counts the number of the stars; he names them ev'ry one.

5 Great is our Lord, and of great pow'r; his wisdom search can none.

& The Lord lifts up the meek; and casts the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks; on harp his praises sound;

8 Who covereth the heav'n with clouds, who for the earth below

Prepareth rain, who maketh grass upon the mountains grow.

9 He gives the beast his food, he feeds the ravens young that

cry.

10 His pleasure not in horses' strength, nor in man's legs, doth lie.

11 But in all those that do him fear
the Lord doth pleasure take;
In those that to his mercy do
by hope themselves betake.

12 The Lord praise, O Jerusalem;
Sion, thy God confess :

13 For thy gates' bars he maketh strong; thy sons in thee doth bless.
