King James Version with Apocrypha
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 strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
3LORD , what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
4Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
5Bow thy heavens, O LORD , and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
10It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
12That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of 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.
13That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
14That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
15Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea , happy is that people, whose God is the LORD .
16Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
