Psalms 145

1I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever.

2I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever.

3Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.

4Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.

5I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles.

6Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness.

7Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy about your righteousness.

8The LORD is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

9The LORD is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation.

10All of your works will thank you, LORD, and your faithful followers will praise you.

11They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power.

12They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign.

13For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The LORD always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does.

14The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.

15The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.

16When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.

17The LORD is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.

18The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.

19He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them.

20The LORD protects all those who love him, but he destroys the wicked.

21I will praise the LORD, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever.

Psalms 146

1Praise the LORD! Let all that I am praise the LORD.

2I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

3Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.

4When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them.

5But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God.

6He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever.

7He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

8The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the godly.

9The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

10The LORD will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations. Praise the LORD!

Psalms 147

1Praise the LORD! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!

2The LORD is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel.

3He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

4He counts the stars and calls them all by name.

5How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!

6The LORD supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust.

7Sing out your thanks to the LORD; sing praises to our God with a harp.

8He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.

9He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry.

10He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might.

11No, the LORD’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.

12Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls.

14He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.

15He sends his orders to the world — how swiftly his word flies!

16He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.

17He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold?

18Then, at his command, it all melts. He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.

19He has revealed his words to Jacob, his decrees and regulations to Israel.

20He has not done this for any other nation; they do not know his regulations. Praise the LORD!
