Psalm 145
The Lord Extolled for His Goodness.
A Psalm of praise. Of David.
1I will exalt You, my God, O King,
And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will bless Your name forever and ever.
2Every day I will bless You and lovingly praise You;
Yes, [with awe-inspired reverence] I will praise Your name forever and ever.
3Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man]. [Job 5:9; 9:10; Rom 11:33]
4One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty and remarkable acts.
5On the glorious splendor of Your majesty
And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.
6People will speak of the power of Your awesome acts,
And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will tell of Your greatness.
7They will overflow [like a fountain] when they speak of Your great and abundant goodness
And will sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
8¶The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
9The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created].
10All Your works shall give thanks to You and praise You, O Lord,
And Your godly ones will bless You.
11They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your power,
12To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts
And the glorious majesty of Your kingdom.
13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. [Dan 7:14, 27]
14¶The Lord upholds all those [of His own] who fall
And raises up all those who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all look to You [in hopeful expectation],
And You give them their food in due time.
16You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17¶The Lord is [unwaveringly] righteous in all His ways
And gracious and kind in all His works.
18The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him in truth (without guile).
19He will fulfill the desire of those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience];
He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20The Lord keeps all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.
21My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh will bless and gratefully praise His holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145
145
Praise for the Lord's Goodness and Power
David's Psalm of praise.
1I will extol thee, my God, O King;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation shall praise thy works to another,
and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty,
and of thy wondrous works.
6And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:
and I will declare thy greatness.
7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness,
and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion;
slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9The Lord is good to all:
and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord;
and thy saints shall bless thee.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,
and talk of thy power;
12to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
15The eyes of all wait upon thee;
and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16Thou openest thine hand,
and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
and holy in all his works.
18The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth.
19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him:
he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20The Lord preserveth all them that love him:
but all the wicked will he destroy.
21My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord:
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
