Psalms 145

God’s Greatness
King David’s poetic song of praise
1My heart explodes with praise to you!
Now and forever my heart bows in worship to you,
my King and my God!
2Every day I will lift up my praise to your name
with praises that will last throughout eternity.
3Lord, you are great and worthy of the highest praise!
For there is no end to the discovery
of the greatness that surrounds you.
4Generation after generation will declare more of your greatness
and declare more of your glory.
5Your magnificent splendor and the miracles of your majesty
are my constant meditation.
6Your awe-inspiring acts of power have everyone talking!
I’m telling people everywhere about your excellent greatness!
7Our hearts bubble over as we celebrate the fame
of your marvelous beauty, bringing bliss to our hearts.
We shout with ecstatic joy over your breakthrough for us.
8You’re kind and tenderhearted to those who don’t deserve it
and very patient with people who fail you.
Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness.
9God, everyone sees your goodness,
for your tender love is blended into everything you do.
10Everything you have made will praise you, fulfilling its purpose.
And all your godly ones will be found bowing before you.
11They will tell the world of the lavish splendor of your kingdom
and preach about your limitless power.
12They will demonstrate for all to see your miracles of might
and reveal the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
13You are the Lord who reigns over your never-ending kingdom through all the ages of time and eternity!
You are faithful to fulfill every promise you’ve made.
You manifest yourself as kindness in all you do. # 145:13 The last two lines of this verse are only found in one reliable Hebrew manuscript and in the Septuagint. It could also be translated “All your works are very holy.”
14Weak and feeble ones you will sustain.
Those bent over with burdens of shame you will lift up.
15You have captured our attention
and the eyes of all look to you.
You give what they hunger for at just the right time.
16When you open your generous hand, it’s full of blessings,
satisfying the longings of every living thing.
17You are fair and righteous in everything you do,
and your love is wrapped into all your works.
18You draw near to those who call out to you,
listening closely, especially when their hearts are true.
19Every godly one receives
even more than what they ask for.
For you hear what their hearts really long for,
and you bring them your saving strength.
20God, you watch carefully over all your devoted lovers like a bodyguard,
but you will destroy the ungodly.
21I will praise you, Lord!
Let everyone everywhere join me in praising
the beautiful Lord of holiness from now through eternity!

A Song of God’s Majesty and Love
A praise of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1I will exalt you, my God, O king,
and I will bless#That is, praise; here and v. 2 your name forever and ever.
2Every day I will bless you
and praise your name forever and ever.
3Great is Yahweh, and very worthy of praise,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation will laud your works to another,
and will declare your mighty deeds.
5On the splendor of the glory of your majesty,
and on your wonderful deeds, I will meditate.
6And they will speak of the power of your awesome deeds,#That is, deeds that evoke a fearful reverence
and I will tell of your greatness.#According to the reading tradition (Qere)
7They will utter #Hebrew “pour forth” the renown of your abundant goodness,
and they will proclaim with joy your righteousness.
8Yahweh is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger#Literally “long of nostrils” and great in loyal love.
9Yahweh is good to all,
and his mercies are over all his works.
10All your works will praise you, O Yahweh,
and your faithful ones will bless#That is, praise you.
11They will speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and talk of your power,
12to make known to the children of humankind his mighty deeds,
and the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.#Literally “for a generation and a generation”
14Yahweh upholds all who are falling,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due time,
16opening your hand,
and satisfying the desire of every living creature.
17Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and loyal in all his works.
18Yahweh is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
19He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry for help, and saves them.
20Yahweh protects all those who love him,
but all the wicked he will exterminate.
21My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh,
and all flesh will bless his holy name
forever and ever.
