1 > I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
> I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
But I will always hope, And will add to all of your praise. My mouth will tell about your righteousness, And of your salvation all day, Though I don't know its full measure. I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come. Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; You have done great things. God, who is like you? You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, You will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. Increase my honor, And comfort me again. I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, For they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, Praise the name of Yahweh. Blessed be the name of Yahweh, From this time forth and forevermore.
For Yahweh is a great God, A great King above all gods.
I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, In the presence of your saints.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King. God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
> My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
> I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Commentary on Psalms 145 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 145
The five foregoing psalms were all of a piece, all full of prayers; this, and the five that follow it to the end of the book, are all of a piece too, all full of praises; and though only this is entitled David's psalm yet we have no reason to think but that they were all his as well as all the foregoing prayers. And it is observable,
David's psalm of praise.
Psa 145:1-9
The entitling of this David's psalm of praise may intimate not only that he was the penman of it, but that he took a particular pleasure in it and sung it often; it was his companion wherever he went. In this former part of the psalm God's glorious attributes are praised, as, in the latter part of the psalm, his kingdom and the administration of it. Observe,
Psa 145:10-21
The greatness and goodness of him who is optimus et maximus-the best and greatest of beings, were celebrated in the former part of the psalm; here, in these verses, we are taught to give him the glory of his kingdom, in the administration of which his greatness and goodness shine so clearly, so very brightly. Observe, as before,
