Listen to Psalm 145

¹I 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 Yahweh, 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. ⁸Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. ⁹Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works. ¹⁰All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh. Your saints will extol you. ¹¹They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power, ¹²to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom. ¹³Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Yahweh is faithful in all his words, and loving in all his deeds. ¹⁴Yahweh upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down. ¹⁵The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season. ¹⁶You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing. ¹⁷Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works. ¹⁸Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. ¹⁹He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them. ²⁰Yahweh preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked. ²¹My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
