Great Is the Lord

Psalm 145

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

⁴ One generation shall laud your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
⁵ On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
⁶ The might of your awesome deeds shall be proclaimed,
and I will declare your greatness.
⁷ They shall celebrate the fame of your abundant goodness,
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

⁸ The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
⁹ The Lord is good to all,
and his compassion is over all that he has made.

¹⁰ All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
and all your faithful shall bless you.
¹¹ They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and tell of your power,
¹² to make known to all people your ₁ mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendor of your ₂ kingdom.

¹³ Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

The Lord is faithful in all his words,
and gracious in all his deeds. ₃
¹⁴ The Lord upholds all who are falling,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
¹⁵ The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
¹⁶ You open your hand,
satisfying the desire of every living thing.
¹⁷ The Lord is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings.
¹⁸ The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
¹⁹ He fulfills the desire of all who fear him;
he also hears their cry, and saves them.
²⁰ The Lord watches over all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.

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