MLV(i)
1 I will extol you, my God, O King and I will bless your name everlasting and forever.
2 Every day I will bless you and I will praise your name everlasting and forever.
3 Great is Jehovah and greatly to be praised and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation will laud your works to another and will declare your mighty acts.
5 I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor and of your wondrous works.
6 And men will speak of the might of your fearful acts and I will declare your greatness. 7 They will pour out the memory of your great goodness and will sing of your righteousness.
8 Jehovah is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great loving kindness. 9 Jehovah is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All your works will give thanks to you, O Jehovah and your holy ones will praise you.
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power, 12 to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and your dominion is throughout all generations.
14 Jehovah upholds all who fall and raises up all those who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait for you and you give them their food in due season. 16 You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways and gracious in all his works. 18 Jehovah is near to all those who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry and will save them. 20 Jehovah preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
21 My mouth will speak the praise of Jehovah. And let all flesh bless his holy name everlasting and forever.
146 1 Praise Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah, O my soul. 2 While I live I will praise Jehovah. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
3 Do not put your* trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth. His thoughts perish in that very day.
5 He who has the God of Jacob for his help is fortunate, whose hope is in Jehovah his God, 6 who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, who keeps truth everlasting, 7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah releases the prisoners.
8 Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jehovah raises up those who are bowed down. Jehovah loves the righteous.
9 Jehovah preserves the travelers. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 Jehovah will reign everlasting, your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Jehovah.
147 1 Praise Jehovah, because it is good to sing praises to our God. Because it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
2 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite. 6 Jehovah upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God, 8 who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains. 9 He gives to the beast his food and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion. 13 Because he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes. 17 He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold? 18 He sends out his word and melts them. He causes his wind to blow and the waters flow.
19 He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. 20 He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them.
Praise Jehovah.
148 1 Praise Jehovah.
Praise you* Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights. 2 Praise him, all his messengers. Praise him, all his host. 3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you* stars of light. 4 Praise him, you* heavens of heavens and you* waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah. Because he commanded and they were created. 6 He has also established them everlasting and forever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, you* sea creatures and all depths, 8 fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word, 9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, 10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds, 11 kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth, 12 both young men and virgins, old men and sons.
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, because his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Jehovah.
149 1 Praise Jehovah.
Sing to Jehovah a new song and his praise in the assembly of the holy ones. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.
4 Because Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the holy ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God are in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand 7 to execute vengeance upon the nations and punishments upon the peoples, 8 to bind their kings with chains and their ranking men with fetters of iron, 9 to execute upon them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor.
Praise Jehovah.
150 1 Praise Jehovah.
Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in the expanse of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with horn and trumpet-blast. Praise him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with alarming like cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah.
3 Great is Jehovah and greatly to be praised and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation will laud your works to another and will declare your mighty acts.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and your dominion is throughout all generations.
