Psalms 145:1-7

1A praise psalm by David. I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.

2Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.

3Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

4One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.

5I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works.

6Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.

7They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
