Psalms 145 Comparison: Noyes Translation (1869) vs King James Version
Psalms 145
1I will extol thee, my God, the King! I will praise thy name for ever and ever!
2Every day will I bless thee, And praise thy name for ever and ever!
3Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; Yea, his greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty deeds.
5I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, And of thy wonderful works.
6Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible deeds, And I will declare thy greatness;
7They shall pour forth the praise of thy great good And sing of thy righteousness.
8The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion, Slow to anger, and rich in mercy.
9The LORD is good to all. And his tender mercies are over all his works.
10All thy works praise thee, O LORD! And thy holy ones bless thee!
11They speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;
12To make known to the sons of men his mighty deeds, And the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14The LORD upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all that are bowed down.
15The eyes of all wait upon thee, And thou givest them their food in due season;
16Thou openest thine hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17The LORD is righteous in all his ways, And merciful in all his works.
18The LORD is nigh to all that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.
19He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; He heareth their cry, and saveth them.
20The LORD preserveth all that love him; But all the wicked he will destroy.
21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever!
