145 A ppraise song by David.

145 I will highly commend you, my God, the King.

I will praise your name without ending.

2 Every day I’ll make sure to bless you.

I will praise your name forever and ever.

3 Yahweh is great and deserving of a lot of praise—

We can’t fully comprehend his greatness.

4 Generation to generation will celebrate because of what you’ve done

and they’ll tell others about your powerful actions.

5 I’ll meditate on your incredible splendour and honour

≈as well as all the marvellous things that you’ve done.

6 They’ll tell about how your awesome actions show your power,

and I’ll speak about your greatness.

7 They’ll remember the fame of your extravagant goodness,

and they’ll happily sing about your righteousness.

8 Yahweh is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and frequently displaying his loyal commitment.

9 Yahweh is good to everyone,

and desires the best for everything he made.

10 Everyone you’ve made will give thanks to you, Yahweh.

Your faithful supporters will bless you.

11 They’ll tell about the splendour of your kingdom,

and they’ll speak about of your power,

12 making his powerful actions known to humanity’s children,

along with the incredible splendour of his kingdom.

13 Your kingdom will continue forever,

and you’ll rule generation after generation.

14 Yahweh supports all those who’re falling

and raises up all those who’re bent over under heavy loads.

15 Everyone and everything’s eyes are watching out for you.

You give them their food at the proper time.

16 You open your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 Yahweh is righteous in all his ways

and shows kindness in everything he does.

18 Yahweh is near to all who call to him—

to all who sincerity request his help.

19 For those who strive to obey him, he does what they desire,

and he hears their call for help and saves them.

20 Yahweh protects all those who love him,

but he’ll destroy all the wicked.

21 My mouth speaks the praise of Yahweh.

Let everybody bless his holy name forever and ever.
