Psalm 145


[1]   I will extol you, my God and King,  
          and bless your name forever and ever.  
[2]   Every day I will bless you,  
          and praise your name forever and ever.  
[3]   Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;  
          his greatness is unsearchable.

[4]   One generation shall laud your works to another,  
          and shall declare your mighty acts.  
[5]   On the glorious splendor of your majesty,  
          and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.  
[6]   The might of your awesome deeds shall be proclaimed,  
          and I will declare your greatness.  
[7]   They shall celebrate the fame of your abundant goodness,  
          and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

[8]   The Lord is gracious and merciful,  
          slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.  
[9]   The Lord is good to all,  
          and his compassion is over all that he has made.

[10]  All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,  
          and all your faithful shall bless you.  
[11]  They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,  
          and tell of your power,  
[12]  to make known to all people your mighty deeds,  
          and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.  
[13]  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,  
          and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

     The Lord is faithful in all his words,  
          and gracious in all his deeds.  
[14]  The Lord upholds all who are falling,  
          and raises up all who are bowed down.  
[15]  The eyes of all look to you,  
          and you give them their food in due season.  
[16]  You open your hand,  
          satisfying the desire of every living thing.  
[17]  The Lord is just in all his ways,  
          and kind in all his doings.  
[18]  The Lord is near to all who call on him,  
          to all who call on him in truth.  
[19]  He fulfills the desire of all who fear him;  
          he also hears their cry, and saves them.  
[20]  The Lord watches over all who love him,  
          but all the wicked he will destroy.

[21]  My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,  
          and all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever.
