(By David for praise.)
The Lord Is Kind and Merciful
1 I will praise you,
my God and King,
and always honor your name.
2 I will praise you each day
and always honor your name.
3 You are wonderful, Lord,
and you deserve all praise,
because you are much greater
than anyone can understand.
4 Each generation will announce
to the next your wonderful
and powerful deeds.
5 I will keep thinking about
your marvelous glory
and your mighty miracles.
6 Everyone will talk about
your fearsome deeds,
and I will tell all nations
how great you are.
7 They will celebrate and sing
about your matchless mercy
and your power to save.
8 You are merciful, Lord!
You are kind and patient
and always loving.
9 You are good to everyone,
and you take care
of all your creation.
10 All creation will thank you,
and your loyal people
will praise you.
11 They will tell about
your marvelous kingdom
and your power.
12 Then everyone will know about
the mighty things you do
and your glorious kingdom.
13 Your kingdom will never end,
and you will rule forever.
Our Lord, you keep your word
and do everything you say.
14 When someone stumbles or falls,
you give a helping hand.
15 Everyone depends on you,
and when the time is right,
you provide them with food.
16 By your own hand you satisfy
the desires of all who live.
17 Our Lord, everything you do
is kind and thoughtful,
18 and you are near to everyone
whose prayers are sincere.
19 You satisfy the desires
of all your worshipers,
and you come to save them
when they ask for help.
20 You take care of everyone
who loves you,
but you destroy the wicked.
21 I will praise you, Lord,
and everyone will respect
your holy name forever.
1 A Psalme of David of Praise. O my God and King, I will extold thee, and will blesse thy Name for euer and euer. 2 I will blesse thee dayly, and prayse thy Name for euer and euer. 3 Great is the Lord, and most worthy to be praysed, and his greatnes is incomprehensible. 4 Generation shall praise thy works vnto generation, and declare thy power. 5 I wil meditate of the beautie of thy glorious maiestie, and thy wonderfull workes, 6 And they shall speake of the power of thy fearefull actes, and I will declare thy greatnes. 7 They shall breake out into the mention of thy great goodnes, and shall sing aloude of thy righteousnesse. 8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great mercie. 9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are ouer all his workes. 10 All thy workes prayse thee, O Lord, and thy Saints blesse thee. 11 They shewe the glory of thy kingdome, and speake of thy power, 12 To cause his power to be knowen to the sonnes of men, and the glorious renoume of his kingdome. 13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. 14 The Lord vpholdeth all that fall, and lifteth vp all that are ready to fall. 15 The eyes of all waite vpon thee, and thou giuest them their meate in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things liuing of thy good pleasure. 17 The Lord is righteous in all his wayes, and holy in all his workes. 18 The Lord is neere vnto all that call vpon him: yea, to all that call vpon him in trueth. 19 He wil fulfill the desire of them that feare him: he also wil heare their cry, and wil saue them. 20 The Lord preserueth all them that loue him: but he will destroy all the wicked. 21 My mouth shall speake the prayse of the Lord, and all flesh shall blesse his holy Name for euer and euer.
