Psalms 145

¹I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! and I’ll bless your name into eternity.

²I’ll bless you every day, and keep it up from now to eternity.

³GOD is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness.

⁴Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts.

⁵Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking; I compose songs on your wonders.

⁶Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness.

⁷The fame of your goodness spreads across the country; your righteousness is on everyone’s lips.

⁸GOD is all mercy and grace— not quick to anger, is rich in love.

⁹GOD is good to one and all; everything he does is soaked through with grace.

¹⁰Creation and creatures applaud you, GOD; your holy people bless you. They talk about the glories of your rule, they exclaim over your splendor,

¹²Letting the world know of your power for good, the lavish splendor of your kingdom.

¹³Your kingdom is a kingdom eternal; you never get voted out of office. GOD always does what he says, and is gracious in everything he does.

¹⁴GOD gives a hand to those down on their luck, gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.

¹⁵All eyes are on you, expectant; you give them their meals on time.

¹⁶Generous to a fault, you lavish your favor on all creatures.

¹⁷Everything GOD does is right— the trademark on all his works is love.

¹⁸GOD’s there, listening for all who pray, for all who pray and mean it.

¹⁹He does what’s best for those who fear him— hears them call out, and saves them.

²⁰GOD sticks by all who love him, but it’s all over for those who don’t.

²¹My mouth is filled with GOD’s praise. Let everything living bless him, bless his holy name from now to eternity!
