Psalm 145:1-14 



1 I will exalt you, my God the King; 
I will praise your name for ever and ever. 
2 Every day I will praise you 
and extol your name for ever and ever. 

3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; 
his greatness no one can fathom. 
4 One generation commends your works to another; 
they tell of your mighty acts. 
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— 
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b] 
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works— 
and I will proclaim your great deeds. 
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness 
and joyfully sing of your righteousness. 

153 Look on my suffering and deliver me,

    for I have not forgotten your law.

154 Defend my cause and redeem me;

    preserve my life according to your

    promise.

155 Salvation is far from the wicked,

    for they do not seek out your decrees.

156 Your compassion, Lord, is great;

    preserve my life according to your

    laws.

157 Many are the foes who persecute me,

    but I have not turned from your

    statutes.

158 I look on the faithless with loathing,

    for they do not obey your word.

159 See how I love your precepts;

    preserve my life, Lord, in accordance

    with your love.

160 All your words are true;

    all your righteous laws are eternal.
