Psalms 145:3
1 I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever.
2 Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation will commend Your works to the next, and will proclaim Your mighty acts—
5 the glorious splendor of Your majesty. And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.
