Psalms 145



145

A psalm of David.

<1> I will tell of your greatness, my God and King.

I will praise your name forever and ever.

<2> I will praise you every day.

I will praise your name forever and ever.

<3> The Lord is great and deserves all our praise!

No one can fully understand his greatness.

<4> Each generation will praise you

and tell the next generation about the great things you do.

<5> Your majesty and glory[664] are wonderful.

I will tell about your miracles.

<6> People will tell about the amazing things you do.

I will tell about the great things you do.

<7> They will tell about the good things you do.

They will sing about your goodness.

<8> The Lord is kind and merciful,

patient and full of love.

<9> The Lord is good to everyone.

He shows his mercy to everything he made.

<10> Lord, all you have made will give thanks to you.

Your loyal followers will praise you.

<11> They will tell how great your kingdom is.

They will tell how great you are.

<12> So others will learn about the mighty things you do,

about the glory of your kingdom-how marvelous it is!

<13> Your kingdom will never end,

and you will rule forever.

The Lord can be trusted in all that he says.

He is loyal in all that he does.[665]

<14> The Lord lifts up people who have fallen.

He helps those who are in trouble.

<15> All living things look to you for their food,

and you give them their food at the right time.

<16> You open your hands,

and you give every living thing

everything it needs.

<17> Everything the Lord does is good.

Everything he does shows how loyal he is.

<18> The Lord is near to everyone

who sincerely calls to him for help.

<19> He listens to his followers,

and he does what they want.

He answers their prayers and saves them.

<20> The Lord protects everyone who loves him,

but he destroys all who do evil.

<21> I will praise the Lord!

Let everyone praise his holy name forever and ever!
