Psalm 145

1. I will exalt Thee, O my God and King,  / And bless Thy Name forever as I sing;  / Yes, daily blessing Thee, I will adore  / And praise Thy holy Name for evermore.  / Great is the LORD and worthy of all honor;  / His greatness is unsearchable for wonder.  / His acts are praised by ev’ry generation,  / His handiworks acclaimed with veneration.  / LORD, the majestic glories of Thy state  / And all Thy doings I will contemplate;  / Yes, of Thy greatness I will tell at length  / And speak about Thy awesome acts of strength,  / Till men shall bring Thy goodness to  / remembrance,  / Sing of Thy righteousness with joyful reverence.  / Thou, LORD, art gracious, boundless in  / compassion;  / Slow is Thy wrath in dealing with transgression.

2. LORD, Thou art good to all that dwell below;  / Thou in Thy works Thy steadfast love dost show.  / They all present to Thee their thankful praise;  / Thy saints shall bless Thee to the end of days.  / They shall recount Thy kingdom’s exaltation  / And praise Thy wondrous acts with veneration,  / That men may for Thy mighty deeds adore Thee,  / For they unfold Thy kingdom’s radiant glory. / Dewey Westra, 1961; rev.
