Great Is the Lord (PSA 145:1-21)

Of David.

[145:1] I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever.

[145:2] Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.

[145:3] Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

[145:4] One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.

[145:5] On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

[145:6] They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness.

[145:7] They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

[145:8] The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

[145:9] The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.

[145:10] All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you!

[145:11] They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power,

[145:12] to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

[145:13] Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. [The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works.]

[145:14] The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.

[145:15] The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season.

[145:16] You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

[145:17] The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.

[145:18] The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

[145:19] He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.

[145:20] The Lord preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

[145:21] My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
