A Hymn of Praise (PSA 145:1-21)

[145:1] I will proclaim your greatness, my God and king; I will thank you forever and ever.

[145:2] Every day I will thank you; I will praise you forever and ever.

[145:3] The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; his greatness is beyond understanding.

[145:4] What you have done will be praised from one generation to the next; they will proclaim your mighty acts.

[145:5] They will speak of your glory and majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.

[145:6] People will speak of your mighty deeds, and I will proclaim your greatness.

[145:7] They will tell about all your goodness and sing about your kindness.

[145:8] The Lord is loving and merciful, slow to become angry and full of constant love.

[145:9] He is good to everyone and has compassion on all he made.

[145:10] All your creatures, Lord, will praise you, and all your people will give you thanks.

[145:11] They will speak of the glory of your royal power and tell of your might,

[145:12] so that everyone will know your mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.

[145:13] Your rule is eternal, and you are king forever. The Lord is faithful to his promises; he is merciful in all his acts.

[145:14] He helps those who are in trouble; he lifts those who have fallen.

[145:15] All living things look hopefully to you, and you give them food when they need it.

[145:16] You give them enough and satisfy the needs of all.

[145:17] The Lord is righteous in all he does, merciful in all his acts.

[145:18] He is near to those who call to him, who call to him with sincerity.

[145:19] He supplies the needs of those who honor him; he hears their cries and saves them.

[145:20] He protects everyone who loves him, but he will destroy the wicked.

[145:21] I will always praise the Lord; let all his creatures praise his holy name forever.
