Glory of the Kingdom

Psalm 145

A psalm of praise. Of David.
I will exalt You, my God, the King,
and I will bless Your Name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
and praise Your Name forever and ever!
Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised
—His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation will praise Your works
to another and declare Your mighty acts.
I will meditate on the glorious splendor
of Your majesty and Your wonders.
They will speak of the might of Your awesome deeds,
and I will proclaim Your greatness.
They will pour out the renown of Your great goodness,
and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
Adonai is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.
Adonai is good to all.
He has compassion on all His creatures.
10 All Your works praise You, Adonai,
and Your kedoshim bless You.
11 They declare the glory of Your kingdom
and speak of Your might,
12 to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts
and the glory of the majesty of His kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages,
and Your dominion endures from generation to generation.

14 Adonai upholds all who fall
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to You
and You give them their food on time.
16 You open Your hand
and satisfy every living thing with favor.
17 Adonai is righteous in all His ways
and kind in all His deeds.
18 Adonai is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him.
He will hear their cry and save them.
20 Adonai watches over all who love Him,
    but all the wicked He will destroy.
21 My mouth declares the praise of Adonai.
Let all flesh bless His holy Name forever and ever!
