## I Will Exalt You, My God and King
A Psalm of praise. Of David. {[[#^19-145-a|a]]}
- 1 I will exalt You, my God and King;
- I will bless Your name forever and ever.
- 2 Every day I will bless You,
- and I will praise Your name forever and ever.
- 3 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;
- His greatness is unsearchable.
- 4 One generation will commend Your works to the next,
- and will proclaim Your mighty acts —
- 5 the glorious splendor of Your majesty.
- And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
- 6 They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds,
- and I will declare Your greatness.
- 7 They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness
- and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
- 8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
- slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.
- 9 The LORD is good to all;
- His compassion rests on all He has made.
- 10 All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD,
- and Your saints will bless You.
- 11 They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom
- and speak of Your might,
- 12 to make known to men Your mighty acts
- and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.
- 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
- and Your dominion endures through all generations.
- The LORD is faithful in all His words
- and kind in all His actions. {[[#^19-145-b|b]]}
- 14 The LORD upholds all who fall
- and lifts up all who are bowed down.
- 15 The eyes of all look to You,
- and You give them their food in season.
- 16 You open Your hand
- and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
- 17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways
- and kind in all His deeds.
- 18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him,
- o all who call out to Him in truth.
- 19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
- He hears their cry and saves them.
- 20 The LORD preserves all who love Him,
- but all the wicked He will destroy.
- 21 My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD;
- let every creature bless His holy name
- forever and ever.
