Psalms 145

145
A psalm of David. A song of praise.
1I will glorify you, my God and King! I will praise who you are forever and ever!
2I will praise you every day; I will praise your character forever and ever!
3The Lord is great and deserves much praise! His greatness cannot be measured!
4Let every generation tell the next all that you do, sharing the stories of your amazing miracles!
5They will speak#145:5. “They will speak”: Qumran text. of your majesty, your glorious splendor, and I will meditate on the wonderful things you have done.
6They will speak of the power of your awesome actions, and I will say how wonderful you are.
7They will explain to everyone how famous you are for your tremendous goodness, and joyfully celebrate how you always do what is right.
8The Lord is gracious and merciful, not easily angered, and full of trustworthy love.
9The Lord is good to everyone, and he shows mercy to all his created beings.
10All the created beings will thank you, Lord, and all who faithfully follow you will praise you.
11They will praise the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power.
12They will explain to people your wonderful miracles, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13Your kingdom never ends, and your rule continues for all generations. What the Lord promises can always be trusted; he is merciful in all he does.#145:13. The second half of this verse is found in the Septuagint and the Syriac version, and also in the Qumran text. Since this poem is an acrostic, each verse beginning with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet, these lines provide the missing letter (nun).
14The Lord helps up all those who fall down; he lifts up all those who are bowed down.
15All eyes are on you, waiting in hope, and you give food at just the right time.
16You give generously and satisfy the needs of every living thing.
17The Lord does right in everything—his actions are always trustworthy.
18The Lord is close to all who ask for his help, to all who ask in sincerity.
19He satisfies the needs of those who follow him. He hears their cries for help and he saves them.
20The Lord takes care of all those who love him, but he will destroy all those who are wicked.
21I will speak in praise of the Lord, and may everyone honor his holy character, forever and ever.
