*Psalms 145

₁My God, my King, I want to praise You.

I want to praise your name forever and ever.

₂I want to praise your name

each day, forever and ever.

₃The Lord is great,

and everyone must praise Him.

No one will ever know how great He is.

₄Each generation must

tell the next generation of the

wonderful things that He has done.

They must talk about

the great things that You have done.

₅I want to think about the glory

of God the King and about

the wonderful things that You do.

₆People will respect the amazing things

that You do and talk about how great You are.

₇They will remember

how great and good You are

and tell everyone about it,

and they will sing about your righteousness.

₈The Lord is gracious and full of mercy,

He is patient and

does not become angry quickly,

and his love for us will never end.

₉The Lord is good to all,

and his mercy helps everyone He has made,

everyone who suffers.

₁₀Lord, everything

that You have made will thank You,

and everyone who believes in You

will praise You.

₁₁They will talk about the glory

of your Kingdom and your power,

₁₂so that the people will know

of the great things that You have done

and your wonderful glory,

the glory of the King in heaven.

₁₃You will always be King,

and You will rule forever.

₁₄The Lord helps people who stumble,

and He takes care of those who are in trouble.

₁₅Everyone is waiting for You

to give them food,

and You do it at the right time.

₁₆You open your hand and

You give to all who live.

You give them what they need.

₁₇The Lord is righteous

in everything He does.

He is very good to us.

₁₈The Lord is near everyone

who prays to Him.

He is very close to people

who talk to Him honestly.

₁₉He does what his people ask Him to do,

for the people who believe in Him.

He listens when they pray to Him

and He saves them.

₂₀The Lord protects everyone

who loves Him,

but He will destroy sinful people.

₂₁I will praise the Lord.

Let everyone on earth

praise his holy name forever and ever.
