Psalm 145
A praise psalm by David.
1 I
will exalt you,
my God, the King.
I will praise
your name forever
and ever.
2 Every
day I will
praise you.
I will extol
your name forever
and ever.
3 Great
is the LORD,
and greatly to
be praised!
His greatness is
unsearchable.
4 One
generation will commend your
works to another,
and will declare
your mighty acts.
5 I
will meditate on
the glorious
majesty of your
honor,
on your wondrous
works.
6 Men will
speak of the
might of your
awesome acts.
I will declare your
greatness.
7 They will
utter the memory
of your great
goodness,
and will sing
of your
righteousness.
8 The
LORD is gracious,
merciful,
slow to anger, and
of great loving
kindness.
9 The
LORD is good
to all.
His tender mercies
are over all
his works.
10 All
your works will
give thanks to
you, LORD.
Your saints
will extol you.
11 They
will speak of
the glory of
your kingdom,
and talk about
your power,
12 to
make known to
the sons of
men his mighty
acts,
the glory of
the majesty of
his kingdom.
13 Your
kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom.
Your dominion
endures throughout
all generations.
The LORD
is faithful in all
his words,
and loving in all
his deeds.
14 The
LORD upholds all
who fall,
and raises up
all those who
are bowed down.
15 The
eyes of all
wait for you.
You give them
their food in due
season.
16 You
open your hand,
and satisfy the
desire of every
living thing.
17 The
LORD is righteous
in all his
ways,
and gracious in
all his works.
18 The
LORD is near
to all those
who call on
him,
to all who
call on him
in truth.
19 He
will fulfill the
desire of those
who fear him.
He also will
hear their cry,
and will save
them.
20 The
LORD preserves all
those who love him,
but he will
destroy all the
wicked.
21 My
mouth will speak
the praise of
the LORD.
Let all flesh
bless his holy
name forever and
ever.
