Psalms 145
Psalm 145
Praising God’s Greatness
A hymn of David.
1I exalt you, my God the King, and bless your name forever and ever.23I will bless you every day; I will praise your name forever and ever.4
5The Lord is great and is highly praised; his greatness is unsearchable.6
7One generation will declare your works to the next and will proclaim your mighty acts.8
9I will speak of your splendor and glorious majesty and your wondrous works.10
11They will proclaim the power of your awe-inspiring acts, and I will declare your greatness.12
13They will give a testimony of your great goodness and will joyfully sing of your righteousness.14
15The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in faithful love.16
17The Lord is good to everyone; his compassion rests on all he has made.18
19All you have made will thank you, Lord; the faithful will bless you.20
21They will speak of the glory of your kingdom and will declare your might,22
23informing all people of your mighty acts and of the glorious splendor of your kingdom.24
25Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your rule is for all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words and gracious in all his actions.26
27The Lord helps all who fall; he raises up all who are oppressed.28
29All eyes look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.30
31You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.32
33The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all his acts.34
35The Lord is near all who call out to him, all who call out to him with integrity.36
37He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry for help and saves them.38
39The Lord guards all those who love him, but he destroys all the wicked.40
41My mouth will declare the Lord’s praise; let every living thing bless his holy name forever and ever.42
