PSALM 145
Exaltabo te, Deus.

I will magnify thee, O | God, my King;

* and I will praise thy | Name for •ever• and ever.

2 Every day will I give thanks | unto thee;

* and praise thy | Name for •ever• and ever.

3 Great is the LORD, and marvellous worthy | to be praised;

* there is no | end of his greatness.

4 One generation shall praise thy works | unto • another,

* and de- | -clare thy power.

5 As for me, I will be talking | of thy worship,

* thy glory, thy | praise, and wondrous works;

6 So that men shall speak of the might of thy | marvel•lous acts;

* and I will also | tell of thy greatness.

7 The memorial of thine abundant kindness | shall be showed;

* and men shall | sing of thy righteousness.

8 The LORD is | gracious• and merciful;

* long-suffering, | and of great goodness.

9 The LORD is loving unto | every man;

* and his mercy is | over all his works.

10 All thy works praise | thee, O LORD;

* and thy saints give | thanks unto thee.

11 They show the glory | of thy kingdom,

* and | talk of thy power;

12 That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness | of thy kingdom,

* might be | known unto men.

13 Thy kingdom is an ever- | -lasting kingdom,

* and thy dominion en- | -dureth• throughout all ages.

14 The LORD upholdeth all | such as fall,

* and lifteth up all | those that are down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon | thee, O Lord;

* and thou givest them their | meat in | due season.

16 Thou openest | thine hand,

* and fillest | all things •living• with plenteousness.

17 The LORD is righteous in | all his ways,

* and | holy• in all his works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that | call upon him;

* yea, all such as | call upon him faithfully.

19 He will fulfil the desire of | them that fear him;

* he also will hear their | cry, and will help them.

20 The LORD preserveth all | them that love him;

* but scattereth abroad | all the ungodly.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise | of the LORD;

* and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy | Name for •ever• and ever.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
