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