Psalm 145

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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