Psalms 145
An acrostic hymn (each verse beginning with a successive Hebrew letter) and the last psalm in the book headed "of David." Its subject is the kingship of God, praised across generations rather than in a single moment of crisis. The poem's center quotes Israel's oldest creed: the LORD is "gracious, merciful, slow to anger" (v.8). From there it widens outward, insisting his goodness reaches "all" his works (v.9) and that he satisfies "every living thing" (v.16).
- 1
I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
- 2
Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.
- 3
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.
- 4
One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.
- 5
I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works.
- 6
Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.
- 7
They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
- 8
The LORD is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.
- 9
The LORD is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.
- 10
All your works will give thanks to you, LORD. Your saints will extol you.
- 11
They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power,
- 12
to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
- 13
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and loving in all his deeds.
- 14
The LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.
- 15
The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.
- 16
You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
- 17
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.
- 18
The LORD is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
- 19
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
- 20
The LORD preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
- 21
My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Generación á generación narrará tus obras, y anunciarán tus valentías.
- 5
La hermosura de la gloria de tu magnificencia, y tus hechos maravillosos, hablaré.
- 6
Y la terribilidad de tus valentías dirán los hombres; y yo recontaré tu grandeza.
- 7
Reproducirán la memoria de la muchedumbre de tu bondad, y cantarán tu justicia.
- 8
Clemente y misericordioso es Jehová, lento para la ira, y grande en misericordia.
- 9
Bueno es Jehová para con todos; y sus misericordias sobre todas sus obras.
- 10
Alábente, oh Jehová, todas tus obras; y tus santos te bendigan.
- 11
La gloria de tu reino digan, y hablen de tu fortaleza;
- 12
Para notificar á los hijos de los hombres sus valentías, y la gloria de la magnificencia de su reino.
- 13
Tu reino es reino de todos los siglos, y tu señorío en toda generación y generación.
- 14
Sostiene Jehová á todos los que caen, y levanta á todos los oprimidos.
- 15
Los ojos de todos esperan en ti, y tú les das su comida en su tiempo.
- 16
Abres tu mano, y colmas de bendición á todo viviente.
- 17
Justo es Jehová en todos sus caminos, y misericordioso en todas sus obras.
- 18
Cercano está Jehová á todos los que le invocan, á todos los que le invocan de veras.

Cumplirá el deseo de los que le temen; oirá asimismo el clamor de ellos, y los salvará.
- 20
Jehová guarda á todos los que le aman; empero destruirá á todos los impíos.
- 21
La alabanza de Jehová hablará mi boca; y bendiga toda carne su santo nombre por siglo y para siempre.
A kingdom that stoops
The everlasting kingdom of verse 13 is not remote majesty. The very next lines show what this King does: he "upholds all who fall" and raises "those who are bowed down" (v.14), and gives food in due season (v.15).
So greatness and tenderness are not in tension. He is "near to all those who call on him" (v.18), which is why the psalm can summon "all flesh" to bless him (v.21).
