Psalm 145: I’ll exalt you my God and King

I’ll exalt you, my God and King;
I will praise you every day.
Extol your name with praises,
For ever I will say:
Great is the LORD
And worthy of much praise.
Let all creatures of earth,
With songs their voices raise.
Each generation passing
Will commend your mighty work:
Your glory, splendour and majesty,
Your awesome deeds on earth.
Great is the LORD
And worthy of much praise.
Let all creatures of earth,
With songs their voices raise.
The Lord is kind and gracious,
Slow to anger, rich in love.
We will celebrate his goodness
And sing to him above.
Great is the LORD
And worthy of much praise.
Let all creatures of earth,
With songs their voices raise.
Your rule is everlasting,
Your kingdom cannot fall;
Your promises are faithful
And loving towards all.
Great is the LORD
And worthy of much praise.
Let all creatures of earth,
With songs their voices raise.
You uphold the fallen, lift them.
The bowed and broken feed.
Their eyes all gaze upon you;
As you satisfy their need.
The Lord is near to those who call,
In truth upon him still.
He hears their cry and saves them
Who fear and love His will.
Great is the LORD
And worthy of much praise.
Let all creatures of earth,
With songs their voices raise.
He will destroy the wicked,
But righteous ones will live.
The LORD keeps watch on all of those
Who to him their love give.
Great is the LORD
And worthy of much praise.
Let all creatures of earth,
With songs their voices raise.
