Psalms 145
The psalmist extols and blesses God, proclaiming His greatness and praiseworthiness. God's works and power will be declared by generation after generation, and His compassion, mercy, and justice will be shouted about. The Lord is faithful, holy, and just, lifting up the fallen and providing for all creatures. He watches over those who love Him and will destroy sinners, and the psalmist concludes by speaking praise of the Lord and calling all flesh to bless His holy name.
