Psalms 146

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.	1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
2 Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.	2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.	3 He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.	4 He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
5 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.	5 Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.	6 The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.	7 Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.	8 He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
9 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.	9 He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
10 Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.	10 He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:	11 The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
12 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
15 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
16 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
17 The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.
20 The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
