1 A PRAISE SONG OF DAVID. ALEPH-BET I exalt You, my God, O king, || And bless Your Name to a distant age and forever. 2 Every day I bless You, || And praise Your Name to a distant age and forever. 3 YHWH is great, and greatly praised, || And there is no searching of His greatness. 4 Generation to generation praises Your works, || And they declare Your mighty acts. 5 The majesty, the glory of Your splendor, || And the matters of Your wonders, I declare. 6 And they tell of the strength of Your fearful acts, || And I recount Your greatness. 7 They send out the memorial of the abundance of Your goodness. And they sing of Your righteousness. 8 YHWH is gracious and merciful, || Slow to anger, and great in kindness. 9 YHWH is good to all, || And His mercies are over all His works. 10 O YHWH, all Your works confess You, || And Your saints bless You. 11 They tell of the glory of Your kingdom, || And they speak of Your might, 12 To make His mighty acts known to sons of men, || The glory of the majesty of His kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, || And Your dominion is in all generations. 14 YHWH is supporting all who are falling, || And raising up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to You, || And You are giving their food to them in its season, 16 Opening Your hand, and satisfying || The desire of every living thing. 17 YHWH is righteous in all His ways, || And kind in all His works. 18 YHWH is near to all those calling Him, || To all who call Him in truth. 19 He does the desire of those fearing Him, || And He hears their cry, and saves them. 20 YHWH preserves all those loving Him, || And He destroys all the wicked. 21 My mouth speaks the praise of YHWH, || And all flesh blesses His Holy Name, || To a distant age and forever!
