Psalms 145:8
6 They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.
7 They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.
9 The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made.
10 All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD, and Your saints will bless You.
