May our barns be filled
with crops of every kind.
May the flocks in our fields multiply
by the thousands,
even tens of thousands,
14
and may our oxen be loaded down with
produce.
May there be no enemy breaking through
our walls,
no going into captivity,
no cries of alarm in our town squares.
15 Yes, joyful are those who live like this!
Joyful indeed are those whose God
is the Lord.
PSALM
145
A psalm of praise of David.
I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever.
2 I will praise you every day;
yes, I will praise you forever.
3 Great is the Lord! He is most worthy
of praise!
No one can measure his greatness.
1
Let each generation tell its children of your
mighty acts;
let them proclaim your power.
5 I will meditate on your majestic, glorious
splendor
and your wonderful miracles.
6 Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every
tongue;
I will proclaim your greatness.
7 Everyone will share the story of your
wonderful goodness;
they will sing with joy about your
righteousness.
13 For
your kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom.
You rule throughout all
generations.
The LORD always keeps his
promises;
he is gracious in all he does.
14 The Lord helps the fallen
and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
15 The eyes of all look to you in hope;
you give them their food as they need it.
16 When you open your hand,
you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every
living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.
18 The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth.
19 He grants the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues
them.
20 The Lord protects all those who love him,
but he destroys the wicked.
21
4
The Lord is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with
unfailing love.
9 The Lord is good to everyone.
He showers compassion on all his
creation.
10 All of your works will thank you, Lord,
and your faithful followers will
praise you.
11 They will speak of the glory of your
kingdom;
they will give examples of your
power.
12 They will tell about your mighty deeds
and about the majesty and glory of
your reign.
