Berean Standard Bible
1I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
1Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
2He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
3O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?
4Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
5They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
5Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
6Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
7Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,
8The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
8whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
9The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
9I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—
10Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
10to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
11Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
12To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
12Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.
13Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.
14The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
14Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.
15The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
15Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
16Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
