May our barns be filled
with crops of every kind.
May the flocks in our fields multiply by the
thousands,
even tens of thousands,
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.
Yes, joyful are those who live like this!
Joyful indeed are those whose God is
the Lord.

The Lord is close to all
who call on him, yes, to all
who call on him in truth.

*
A psalm of praise of David.
I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever.
I will praise you every day;
yes, I will praise you forever.
Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of
praise!
No one can measure his greatness.
Let each generation tell its children of your
mighty acts;
let them proclaim your power.
I will meditate on your majestic, glorious
splendor
and your wonderful miracles.
Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every
tongue;
I will proclaim your greatness.
Everyone will share the story of your
wonderful goodness;
they will sing with joy about your
righteousness.
The Lord is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with
unfailing love.
The Lord is good to everyone.
He showers compassion on all his
creation.
All of your works will thank you, Lord,
145 This psalm is a Hebrew acrostic poem; each verse
(including 13b) begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew
alphabet. 145:13 As in Dead Sea Scrolls and Greek and
Syriac versions; the Masoretic Text lacks the final two lines of
this verse. 146:5 Hebrew of Jacob. See note on 44:4.

and your faithful followers will praise you.
They will speak of the glory of your
kingdom;
they will give examples of your power.
They will tell about your mighty deeds
and about the majesty and glory of
your reign.
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.*
The Lord helps the fallen
and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
The eyes of all look to you in hope;
you give them their food as they need it.
When you open your hand,
you satisfy the hunger and thirst of
every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in everything
he does;
he is filled with kindness.
The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth.
He grants the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues
them.
The Lord protects all those who love him,
but he destroys the wicked.
I will praise the Lord,
and may everyone on earth bless his
holy name
forever and ever.

Praise the Lord!
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my
dying breath.
Don’t put your confidence in powerful
people;
there is no help for you there.
When they breathe their last, they return
to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.
But joyful are those who have the God of
Israel* as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever.
He gives justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners.
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed
down.
The Lord loves the godly.
