[1] I will exalt You, my God, O King, And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will bless Your name forever and ever. [2] Every day I will bless You and lovingly praise You; Yes, [with awe-inspired reverence] I will praise Your name forever and ever. [3] Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man]. [4] One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty and remarkable acts. [5] On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. [6] People will speak of the power of Your awesome acts, And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will tell of Your greatness. [7] They will overflow [like a fountain] when they speak of Your great and abundant goodness And will sing joyfully of Your righteousness. [8] The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. [9] The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created]. [10] All Your works shall give thanks to You and praise You, O LORD, And Your godly ones will bless You. [11] They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power, [12] To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glorious majesty of Your kingdom. [13] Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. [14] The LORD upholds all those [of His own] who fall And raises up all those who are bowed down. [15] The eyes of all look to You [in hopeful expectation], And You give them their food in due time. [16] You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. [17] The LORD is [unwaveringly] righteous in all His ways And gracious and kind in all His works. [18] The LORD is near to all who call on Him, To all who call on Him in truth (without guile). [19] He will fulfill the desire of those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He also will hear their cry and will save them. [20] The LORD keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. [21] My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, And all flesh will bless and gratefully praise His holy name forever and ever.
