Psalm 145

A Psalm of Praise. Of David.

I will exalt you, my God and King,
    and I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
    and I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and His greatness is unfathomable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another
    and shall declare Your mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious honor of Your majesty
    and of Your wondrous works.
They shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
    and I will declare Your greatness.
They shall abundantly declare the fame of Your great goodness
    and shall sing of Your righteousness.

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

The Lord is good to all,
    and His compassion is over all His works.
10 All Your works shall praise You, O Lord,
    and Your godly ones shall bless You.
11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
    and talk of Your power,
12 to make known to people His mighty acts,
    and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
    and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You,
    and 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 loving in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all those who call upon Him,
    to all who call upon 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 all the wicked He will destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
    and let all people bless His holy name
    forever and ever.
