Psalm 145:1-21 ESV
I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. [2] Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. [3] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. [4] One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. [5] On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. [6] They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. [7] They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness. [8] The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. [9] The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. [10] All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you! [11] They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, [12] to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. [13] Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. [The LORD is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works.] [14] The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. [15] The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. [16] You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. [17] The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. [18] The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. [19] He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. [20] The LORD preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. [21] My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145 is an incomparable Psalm of praise; and the Jews have it in such high estimation, that they assert that, if one reads it with sincerity of heart repeating it three times a day, they will enjoy the infallible blessings of the world to come.
This marvellous psalm is full to the brim with attributes of God and revelations of his character: He is compassionate “to all his creation”. He is gracious and generous, loving and all-powerful, righteous, watchful, protective, near to us, great and good, and ever faithful. The passage also reveals some of God’s titles: Judge, King, and Lord.
Think of the Saviour: Jesus is the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, our Counsellor, our Good Shepherd. Prayerfully studying and meditating on the character traits and names of God is one of the most faith-building, encouraging things you can do for your spiritual life. It will dispel your anxiety and boost your faith. It will enable you to trust God more. Knowing the true character of God will renew and transform your mind with the truth, dissolving any doubt you may have, and breathe life into your soul.
The Lord is good to all—There is not a soul in the world that is not continually under his most merciful love.
His tender mercies—His bowels of compassion are over all His works; He feels for His intelligent offspring, as the most affectionate mother does for the child of her bosom. And through this matchless mercy, these bowels of compassion, His son Jesus tasted death for every one of us.
David was praising and celebrating the Lord for His goodness and generosity toward His creatures, especially His people. One remarkable feature is the way David used so many different words for “praise”: “extol”; “bless”; “praise”; “commend”; “declare”; “meditate”; “speak”; “pour forth”; “sing aloud”; and “give thanks, can you think of a better to praise and celebrate the name of you Father, creator and God?
Hallelujah! Which we all shout in worship is the English word for Hālal, a Hebrew word for “to praise.” It is to boast in, glorify, extol and celebrate the Lord who is most “worthy of praise,” and David seemed to have had a standard of boasting in his God and praising Him in everything and all circumstances.
Praise His name! we don’t have to wait for victory before we praise the Lord as learnt from David and as directed by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, let praise and thanksgiving be your lifestyle.
Giving thanks and praise to God is required of all believers in acknowledgement of God’s sovereignty and gratitude for all the goods that come from his hands and gives Him the praise due to His grace and mercy.
Leah was so full of gratitude and praise to God that she names her son Judah! A confession of God’s goodness to her-Genesis 29:35. How do you confess your gratitude and praise to God?
Saying aloud the attributes of the Lord and thinking about how you’ve experienced different aspects of his character can be a powerful act of worship. Take a few moments to pray this psalm aloud. Ask God to reveal himself to you in greater clarity than you’ve ever experienced before. You exist to give Him praise. Praise Him!
Shalom
