Praise to God the King

A psalm of praise. Of David.

145I praise your greatness, my God the King;

I will praise you forever and ever.

I will praise you forever and ever.

³The Lord is great and worthy of our praise;

no one can understand how great he is.

⁴Parents will tell their children what you have done.

They will retell your mighty acts,

⁵wonderful majesty, and glory.

And I will think about your miracles.

⁶They will tell about the amazing things you do,

and I will tell how great you are.

⁷They will remember your great goodness

and will sing about your fairness.

⁸The Lord is kind and shows mercy.

He does not become angry quickly but is full of love.

⁹The Lord is good to everyone;

he is merciful to all he has made.

¹⁰Lord, everything you have made will praise you;

those who belong to you will bless you.

¹¹They will tell about the glory of your kingdom

and will speak about your power.

¹²Then everyone will know the mighty things you do

and the glory and majesty of your kingdom.

¹³Your kingdom will go on and on,

and you will rule forever.

The Lord will keep all his promises;

he is loyal to all he has made.
