{145:1} I will exalt you, my God, the King.
I will praise your name forever and ever.

I will extol your name forever and ever.
{145:3} Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable.
{145:4} One generation will commend your works to another,
And will declare your mighty acts.
{145:5} Of the glorious majesty of your honor,
Of your wondrous works, I will meditate.
{145:6} Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts.
I will declare your greatness.
{145:7} They will utter the memory of your great goodness,
And will sing of your righteousness.
{145:8} The LORD is gracious, merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.
{145:9} The LORD is good to all.
His tender mercies are over all his works.
{145:10} All your works will give thanks to you, LORD.
Your holy ones will extol you.
{145:11} They will speak of the glory of your kingdom,
And talk about your power;
{145:12} To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
The glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
{145:13} Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
{145:14} The LORD upholds all who fall,
And raises up all those who are bowed down.
{145:15} The eyes of all wait for you.
You give them their food in due season.
{145:16} You open your hand,
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
{145:17} The LORD is righteous in all his ways,
And gracious in all his works.
{145:18} The LORD is near to all those who call on him,
To all who call on him in truth.
{145:19} He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him.
He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
{145:20} The LORD preserves all those who love him,
But all the wicked he will destroy.

Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
Psalm 146
{146:1} Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, my soul.
{146:2} While I live, I will praise the LORD.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
{146:3} Don't put your trust in princes,
Each a son of man in whom there is no help.
{146:4} His spirit departs, and he returns to the [1>]eretz[<1].
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
{146:5} Happy is he who has the God of Ya`akov for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD, his God:
{146:6} Who made heaven and [2>]eretz[<2],
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever;
{146:7} Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD frees the prisoners.
{146:8} The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD raises up those who are bowed down.
The LORD loves the righteous.
{146:9} The LORD preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
{146:10} The LORD will reign forever;
Your God, O Tziyon, to all generations.
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 147
{147:1} Praise the LORD,
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
{147:2} The LORD builds up Yerushalayim.
He gathers together the outcasts of Yisra'el.
{147:3} He heals the broken in heart,
And binds up their wounds.
{147:4} He counts the number of the stars.
He calls them all by their names.
{147:5} Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
His understanding is infinite.
{147:6} The LORD upholds the humble.
He brings the wicked down to the ground.
{147:7} Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving.
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
{147:8} Who covers the sky with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the [1>]eretz[<1],
Who makes grass grow on the mountains.
{147:9} He provides food for the cattle,
And for the young ravens when they call.
{147:10} He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
{147:11} The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him,
In those who hope in his loving kindness.
{147:12} Praise the LORD, Yerushalayim!
Praise your God, Tziyon!
{147:13} For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.
He has blessed your children within you.
{147:14} He makes shalom in your borders.
He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
{147:15} He sends out his [2>]mitzvah[<2] to the [3>]eretz[<3].
His word runs very swiftly.
{147:16} He gives snow like wool,
And scatters frost like ashes.
{147:17} He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can stand before his cold?
{147:18} He sends out his word, and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
{147:19} He shows his word to Ya`akov;
His statutes and his ordinances to Yisra'el.
{147:20} He has not done this for just any nation.
They don't know his ordinances.
Praise the LORD!
