Psalms 145:5-20

⁵They will speak 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 merciful and gracious, 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.

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.
