Psalm 145

The Greatness and the Goodness of God

Praise. Of David.
¹I will extol you, my God and King,
   and bless your name for ever and ever.
²Every day I will bless you,
   and praise your name for ever and ever.
³Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
   his greatness is unsearchable.

⁴One generation shall laud your works to another,
   and shall declare your mighty acts.
⁵On the glorious splendour of your majesty,
   and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
¹⁸The Lord is near to all who call on him,
   to all who call on him in truth.
¹⁹He fulfils the desire of all who fear him;
   he also hears their cry, and saves them.
²⁰The Lord watches over 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 his holy name for ever and ever.
