[1] I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever [with grateful, affectionate praise]. [2] Every day [with its new reasons] will I bless You [affectionately and gratefully praise You]; yes, 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 deep as to be] unsearchable. [4] One generation shall laud Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts. [5] On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wondrous works I will meditate. [6] Men shall speak of the might of Your tremendous and terrible acts, and I will declare Your greatness. [7] They shall pour forth [like a fountain] the fame of Your great and abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of Your rightness and justice. [8] The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness. [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 praise You, O Lord, and Your loving ones shall bless You [affectionately and gratefully shall Your saints confess and praise 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 God's mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of His 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 are falling and raises up all those who are bowed down. [15] The eyes of all wait for You [looking, watching, and expecting] and You give them their food in due season. [16] You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing with favor. [17] The Lord is [rigidly] righteous in all His ways and gracious and merciful in all His works. [18] The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. [19] He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them. [20] The Lord preserves all those who love Him, but all the wicked will He destroy. [21] My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; and let all flesh bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) His holy name forever and ever.
