1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

144:1 Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex,
et benedicam nomini tuo in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

2 Per singulos dies benedicam tibi,
et laudabo nomen tuum in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

3 Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis,
et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

4 Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua,
et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

5 Magnificentiam gloriæ sanctitatis tuæ loquentur,
et mirabilia tua narrabunt.

6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

6 Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent,
et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

7 Memoriam abundantiæ suavitatis tuæ eructabunt,
et justitia tua exsultabunt.

8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

8 Miserator et misericors Dominus:
patiens, et multum misericors.

9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

9 Suavis Dominus universis,
et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.

10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.

10 Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua,
et sancti tui benedicant tibi.

11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

11 Gloriam regni tui dicent,
et potentiam tuam loquentur:

12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

12 ut notam faciant filiis hominum potentiam tuam,
et gloriam magnificentiæ regni tui.

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

13 Regnum tuum regnum omnium sæculorum;
et dominatio tua in omni generatione et generationem.
Fidelis Dominus in omnibus verbis suis,
et sanctus in omnibus operibus suis.

14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

14 Allevat Dominus omnes qui corruunt,
et erigit omnes elisos.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

15 Oculi omnium in te sperant, Domine,
et tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno.

16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

16 Aperis tu manum tuam,
et imples omne animal benedictione.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

17 Justus Dominus in omnibus viis suis,
et sanctus in omnibus operibus suis.

18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

18 Prope est Dominus omnibus invocantibus eum,
omnibus invocantibus eum in veritate.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

19 Voluntatem timentium se faciet,
et deprecationem eorum exaudiet, et salvos faciet eos.

20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

20 Custodit Dominus omnes diligentes se,
et omnes peccatores disperdet.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

21 Laudationem Domini loquetur os meum;
et benedicat omnis caro nomini sancto ejus in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
