Psalms 145

An acrostic hymn of praise celebrating God's majesty and goodness (often called David's final praise). David declares, "I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever." He praises God's glorious acts and promises to declare God's great goodness. The foundational theme is that "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy." God is near to all who call upon Him in truth. The Psalm concludes with a vow that all flesh shall bless God's holy name forever.
