Psalms
Psalm 145:3–7
3Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation will commend Your works to the next,
and will proclaim Your mighty acts—
5the glorious splendor of Your majesty.
And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
6They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds,
and I will declare Your greatness.
7They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness
and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
