145:9 The Lord is good to all,
and has compassion on all he has made. 1
145:10 All he has made will give thanks to the Lord.
Your loyal followers will praise you.
145:11 They will proclaim the splendor of your kingdom;
they will tell about your power,
145:12 so that mankind 2 might acknowledge your mighty acts,
and the majestic splendor of your kingdom.
145:13 Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, 3
and your dominion endures through all generations.
145:14 4 The Lord supports all who fall,
and lifts up all who are bent over. 5
145:15 Everything looks to you in anticipation, 6
and you provide them with food on a regular basis. 7
145:16 You open your hand,
and fill every living thing with the food they desire. 8
145:17 The Lord is just in all his actions, 9
and exhibits love in all he does. 10
145:18 The Lord is near all who cry out to him,
all who cry out to him sincerely. 11
145:19 He satisfies the desire 12 of his loyal followers; 13
he hears their cry for help and delivers them.
145:20 The Lord protects those who love him,
but he destroys all the wicked.
145:21 My mouth will praise the Lord. 14
Let all who live 15 praise his holy name forever!
