Happy are they that dwell in thy house: they will be ever praising thee. (Selah.)
Happy is the people, that is in such a case: happy is the people, whose God is the Lord.
Psalm cxlv. A Psalm of Praise: of David
I will extol thee, my God, O King; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised: and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
On the majestic glory of thy grandeur, and on thy marvellous deeds, will I meditate.
And men shall speak of the might of thy awful acts; and I will recount thy greatness.
They shall pour forth the fame of thy great goodness, and shall exult in thy righteousness.
The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and of great lovingkindness.
The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.
All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Lord; and thy loving ones shall bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power.
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the majestic glory of his kingdom.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that are bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in due season.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest every living thing with favor.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and loving. in all his works.
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him. to all that call upon him in truth.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
The Lord guardeth all them that love him; but all the wicked will he destroy.
My mouth shall speak of the praise of the Lord; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for ever more. Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm xx.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The Lord answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high; send thee help from the sanctuary, and uphold thee out of Zion; remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice (Selah); grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfil all thy purpose. We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the mighty saving acts of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will make mention of the name of the Lord our God. They are bowed down and fallen: but we are risen and stand upright. Save, Lord: may the King answer us on the day when we call.
And a redeemer shall come to Zion and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: my spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
But thou art holy, O thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.*
* The Chaldee paraphrase of the preceding verse.
And they receive sanction the one from the other, and say, Holy in the highest heavens, the place of his divine abode; holy upon earth, the work of his might; holy for ever and to all eternity is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of the radiance of his glory. Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing (saying), Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place. Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, of those who uttered praises, and said, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from the region of his divine abode. The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. The kingdom of the Lord endureth for ever and to all eternity. O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their heart unto thee. And he, being merciful, forgiveth iniquity and destroyeth not: yea, many a time he turneth his anger away, and doth not stir up all his wrath. For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, and abounding in lovingkindness to all them that call upon thee. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy Law is truth. Thou wilt show truth to Jacob and lovingkindness to Abraham, according as thou has sworn unto our fathers from the days of old. Blessed be the Lord day b, day; if one burdeneth us, God is our salvation. (Selah.) The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. (Selah.) O Lord of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in thee. Save, Lord: may the King answer us on the day when we call. Messed is our God, who hath created us for his glory, and hath separated us from them that go astray, and hath given us the Law of truth and planted everlasting life in our midst. May he open our heart unto his Law, and place his love and fear within our hearts, that we may do his will and serve him with a perfect heart, that we may not labor in vain, nor bring forth for confusion. May it be thy will, O Lord our God and God of our fathers, that we may keep thy statutes in this world, and be worthy to live to witness and inherit happiness and blessing in the days of the Messiah and in the life of the world to come. To the end that my glory may sing praise unto thee, and not be silent: O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose trust the Lord is. Trust ye in the Lord for ever; for in Jah the Lord is an everlasting rock.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, Lord. It pleased the Lord, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the Law and to make it honorable.
