Psalm 145

1 I will exalt you, O God my King,*
and bless your Name forever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless you*
and praise your Name forever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; *
there is no end to his greatness.

4 One generation shall praise your works to another*
and shall declare your power.

5 I will ponder the glorious splendor of your majesty*
and all your marvelous works.

6 They shall speak of the might of your wondrous acts,*
and I will tell of your greatness.

7 They shall publish the remembrance of your great goodness;*
they shall sing of your righteous deeds.

8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, *
slow to anger and of great kindness.

9 The LORD is loving to everyone*
and his compassion is over all his works.

10 All your works praise you, O LORD,*
and your faithful servants bless you.

11 They make known the glory of your kingdom *
and speak of your power;

12 That the peoples may know of your power*
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;*
your dominion endures throughout all ages.

14 The LORD is faithful in all his words*
and merciful in all his deeds.

15 The LORD upholds all those who fall;*
he lifts up those who are bowed down.

16 The eyes of all wait upon you, O LORD,*
and you give them their food in due season.

17 You open wide your hand*
and satisfy the needs of every living creature.

18 The LORD is righteous in all his ways*
and loving in all his works.

19 The LORD is near to those who call upon him, *
to all who call upon him faithfully.

20 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;*
he hears their cry and helps them.

21 The LORD preserves all those who love him, *
but he destroys all the wicked.

22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; *
let all flesh bless his holy Name forever and ever.
