Psalm 145

I Will extoll thee Lord my King,
And ever bless thy Name:
I, all my dayes,
Will bless and praise,
And never cease the same.
Great God, great praises meriting,
Whose greatness none can reach:
One age shall praise
Thy works and waies,
To thy succeeding Church.
Thy mighty acts shall they recite,
And I will here discuss
The fame of thy
Great Majesty:
And works miraculous.
Thy actions of such wondrous might,
Men shall speak of the same:
They dreadfull are;
And I'l declare
The greatness of thy Name.
The mem'ry of thy goodness great,
They fully shall make known:
In songs express
Thy righteousness.
The Lord's a gracious one.
The LORD is easie to intreat,
Kind, patient, good to all:
His mercies do
Extend unto
His works in generall.
Thy works shall praise thee every one,
Thy Saints thy Name shall bless:
They shall proclame
Thy Kingdoms fame,
And pow'rs Almightines.
To make thy mighty actions known
To mans posteritie:
And celebrate
The glorious state
Of thy supremacy.

2. Part.
THy kingdom wears eternall crown,
And thy dominion shall
Endure and last
All ages past,
God holds up all that fall.
And raiseth all the bowed down,
All eyes do wait on thee:
Thou givest meat
For them to eat,
When fittest seasons bee.
Thine opened hand doth satisfie
Each living things desire:
Gods Justie sways
In all his ways,
His holiness intire.
To all his suppliants God is nigh,
Even all that call sincere:
He also will
Their pray'rs fulfill,
Who ever do him fear.
Hee'l hear their cry, and help afford,
And all his lovers true,
Will God secure,
But he will, sure,
Destroy the wicked crue.
My mouth shall magnifie the Lord,
And universall flesh,
His holy Name
And glorious fame
Shall ever sound afresh.
