Psalm 145

Psalm 145¹

A psalm of praise. Of David.

I will exalt you,^a my God the King;^b

I will praise your name^c for ever and ever.

Every day I will praise^d you

and extol your name^e for ever and ever.

Great^f is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^g

his greatness no one can fathom.^h

One generationⁱ commends your works to another;

they tell^j of your mighty acts.^k

They speak of the glorious splendor^l of your majesty—

and I will meditate on your wonderful works.^m

They tellⁿ of the power of your awesome works—^o

and I will proclaim^p your great deeds.^q

They celebrate your abundant goodness^r

and joyfully sing^s of your righteousness.^t

The Lord is gracious and compassionate,^u

slow to anger and rich in love.^v

The Lord is good^w to all;

he has compassion^x on all he has made.

All your works praise you,^y Lord;

your faithful people extol^z you.^a

They tell of the glory of your kingdom^b

and speak of your might,^c

so that all people may know of your mighty acts^d

and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.^e

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,^f

and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy^g in all he promises^h

and faithful in all he does.

The Lord upholdsⁱ all who fall

and lifts up all^j who are bowed down.^k

The eyes of all look to you,

and you give them their food^l at the proper time.

You open your hand

and satisfy the desires^m of every living thing.

The Lord is righteousⁿ in all his ways

and faithful in all he does.^o

The Lord is near^p to all who call on him,^q

to all who call on him in truth.

He fulfills the desires^r of those who fear him;^s

he hears their cry^t and saves them.^u

The Lord watches over^v all who love him,^w

but all the wicked he will destroy.^x

My mouth will speak^y in praise of the Lord.

Let every creature^z praise his holy name^a

for ever and ever.
