KJV Text (alt. audio): Chapter 145:

     1 David’s Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

     10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. 11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; 12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.(KJV)

1. Wondrous King, all glorious, 
Sovereign Lord victorious, 
O, receive our praise with favor! 
From thee welled God’s kindness 
Though we in our blindness 
Strayed from thee, our blessed Saviour. 
Strengthen thou, 
Help us now; 
Let our tongues be singing, 
Thee our praises bringing. 

2. Heavens, spread the story 
Of our Maker’s glory, 
All the pomp of earth obscuring. 
Sun, thy rays be sending, 
Thy bright beams expending, 
Light to all the earth assuring. 
Moon and star, 
Praise afar 
Him who glorious made you; 
The vast heavens aid you. 

3. O my soul, rejoicing, 
Sing, thy praises voicing, 
Sing, with hymns of faith adore him! 
All who here have being, 
Shout, your voices freeing, 
Bow down in the dust before him. 
He is God 
Sabaoth; 
Praise alone the Saviour, 
Here and there for ever. 

4. Hallelujahs render 
To the Lord most tender, 
Ye who know and love the Saviour. 
Hallelujahs sing ye, 
Ye redeemed, O, bring ye 
Hearts that yield him glad behavior. 
Blest are ye 
Endlessly; 
Sinless there for ever, 
Ye shall laud him ever.
