Psalm 145

A song of praise. Of David.

1I will lift you high, my God, the King, and bless your name forever and ever.

2Every single day I will bless you; I will praise your name forever and ever.

3Yahweh is great and highly praised; no one can search out his greatness.

4Each generation will praise your works to the next and proclaim your mighty deeds.

5I will reflect on the splendor of your glorious majesty and on your wondrous deeds.

6They will talk of the strength of your awe-inspiring acts, and I will recount your greatness.

7They will spread the fame of your great goodness and sing out joyfully about your righteousness.

8Yahweh is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in steadfast love.

9Yahweh is good to everyone; his compassion rests on everything he has made.

10Everything you have made will thank you, Yahweh, and those faithful to you will bless you.

11They will declare the glory of your kingdom and talk about your strength,

12to make known to human beings his mighty deeds and the glory and splendor of his kingdom.

13Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and your rule lasts through every generation. Yahweh is trustworthy in all his words and shows kindness in all his deeds.

14Yahweh supports everyone who falls and raises up everyone who is bent low.

15Everyone’s eyes look to you with expectation, and you give them their food in its season.

16You open your hand and fill every living thing with what it desires.

17Yahweh is righteous in all his ways and shows kindness in all his deeds.

18Yahweh is close to all who call to him, to everyone who calls to him in truth.

19He does what those who fear him desire; he hears their cry for help and saves them.

20Yahweh keeps watch over all who love him, but he will wipe out all the wicked.

21My mouth will declare Yahweh’s praise; let all humanity bless his holy name forever and ever.
