145Psalms
A Song of Praise. Of David.  
1 I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name for ever and ever.

I Will Extol thee O Lord My King. Psalm 145(v144)
2 Every day I will bless you,
and praise your name for ever and ever.

 
3 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.

 
4 One generation shall laud your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.

 
5 On the glorious splendour of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

 
6 Men shall proclaim the might of your terrible acts,
and I will declare your greatness.

 
7 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness,
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

 
8 Yahweh is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

 
9 Yahweh is good to all,
and his compassion is over all that he has made.

 
10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Yahweh,
and all your saints shall bless you!

 
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and tell of your power,

 
12 to make known to the sons of men your mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.

 
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

Yahweh is faithful in all his words,
and gracious in all his deeds.

 
14 Yahweh upholds all who are falling,
and raises up all who are bowed down.

 
15 The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.

 
16 You open your hand,
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

 
17 Yahweh is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings.

 
18 Yahweh is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.

 
19 He fulfils the desire of all who fear him,
he also hears their cry, and saves them.

 
20 Yahweh preserves all who love him;
but all the wicked he will destroy.

 
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of Yahweh,
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
