Psalms

A Song of Praise. Of David.

I Will Extol thee O Lord My King.  Psalm 145(v144)

1I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name for ever and ever.
2Every day I will bless you,
and praise your name for ever and ever.
3Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.

4One generation shall laud your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
5On the glorious splendour of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6Men shall proclaim the might of your terrible acts,
and I will declare your greatness.
7They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness,
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8Yahweh is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9Yahweh is good to all,
and his compassion is over all that he has made.

10All your works shall give thanks to you, O Yahweh,
and all your saints shall bless you!
11They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and tell of your power,
12to make known to the sons of men your mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.
13Your 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.
14Yahweh upholds all who are falling,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
16You open your hand,
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17Yahweh is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings.
18Yahweh is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.
19He fulfils the desire of all who fear him,
he also hears their cry, and saves them.
20Yahweh preserves all who love him;
but all the wicked he will destroy.

21My 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.
This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
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 used the name 'Yahweh'.
(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.
