Psalm 145

Exaltabo te, Deus
8
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, *
slow to anger and of great kindness.
9
The Lord is loving to everyone *
and his compassion is over all his works.
15
The Lord upholds all those who fall; *
he lifts up those who are bowed down.
16
The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord, *
and you give them their food in due season.
17
You open wide your hand *
and satisfy the needs of every living creature.
18
The Lord is righteous in all his ways *
and loving in all his works.
19
The Lord is near to those who call upon him, *
to all who call upon him faithfully.
20
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; *
he hears their cry and helps them.
21
The Lord preserves all those who love him, *
but he destroys all the wicked.
22
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; *
let all flesh bless his holy Name for ever and ever.
