Psalms 145

₁I will proclaim your greatness, my God and king;

I will thank you for ever and ever.

₂Every day I will thank you;

I will praise you for ever and ever.

₃The LORD is great and is to be highly praised;

his greatness is beyond understanding.

₄What you have done will be praised from one generation to the next;

they will proclaim your mighty acts.

₅They will speak of your glory and majesty,

and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.

₆People will speak of your mighty deeds,

and I will proclaim your greatness.

₇They will tell about all your goodness

and sing about your kindness.

₈The LORD is loving and merciful,

slow to become angry and full of constant love.

₉He is good to everyone

and has compassion on all he made.

₁₀All your creatures, LORD, will praise you,

and all your people will give you thanks.

₁₁They will speak of the glory of your royal power

and tell of your might,

₁₂so that everyone will know your mighty deeds

and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.

₁₃Your rule is eternal,

and you are king for ever.

The LORD is faithful to his promises,

and he is merciful in all his acts.

₁₄He helps those who are in trouble;

he lifts those who have fallen.

₁₅All living things look hopefully to you,

and you give them food when they need it.

₁₆You give them enough

and satisfy the needs of all.

₁₇The LORD is righteous in all he does,

merciful in all his acts.

₁₈He is near to those who call to him,

who call to him with sincerity.

₁₉He supplies the needs of those who honour him;

he hears their cries and saves them.

₂₀He protects everyone who loves him,

but he will destroy the wicked.

₂₁I will always praise the LORD;

let all his creatures praise his holy name for ever.
