PSALMS
145.12
- His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
- 5O Lord, bow Thy heavens, and come down;
- Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
- 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;
- Send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them.
- 7Stretch forth Thy hands from on high;
- Rescue me, and deliver me out of many waters,
- Out of the hand of strangers;
- 8Whose mouth speaketh falsehood,
- And their right hand is a right hand of lying.
- 9O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee,
- Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee;
- 10Who givest salvation unto kings,
- Who rescuest David Thy servant from the hurtful sword.
- 11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers,
- Whose mouth speaketh falsehood,
- And their right hand is a right hand of lying.
- 12We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth;
- Whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace;
- 13Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store;
- Whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
- 14Whose oxen are well laden;
- With no breach, and no going forth,
- And no outcry in our broad places;
- 15Happy is the people that is in such a case.
- Yea, happy is the people whose God is the Lord.
145 [A Psalm of] praise; of David.
- א I will extol Thee, my God, O King;
- And I will bless Thy for name ever and ever.
- ב 2Every day will I bless Thee;
- And I will praise Thy name for ever and ever.
- ג 3Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised;
- And His greatness is unsearchable.
- ד 4One generation shall laud Thy works to another,
- And shall declare Thy mighty acts.
- ה 5The glorious splendour of Thy majesty,
- And Thy wondrous works, will I rehearse.
- ו 6And men shall speak of the might of Thy tremendous acts;
- And I will tell of Thy greatness.
- ז 7They shall utter the fame of Thy great goodness,
- And shall sing of Thy righteousness.
- ח 8The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion;
- Slow to anger, and of great mercy.
- ט 9The Lord is good to all;
- And His tender mercies are over all His works.
- י 10All Thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord;
- And Thy saints shall bless Thee.
- כ 11They shall speak of the glory of Thy kingdom,
- And talk of Thy might;
- ל12To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
- And the glory of the majesty of His kingdom.
