"I will praise YOU, day after day; and exalt YOUR name forever.
Great is YAHWEH, most worthy of praise; and HIS deeds are beyond measure.
Parents commend YOUR works to their children and tell them YOUR feats.
They proclaim the splendor of YOUR majesty and recall YOUR wondrous works.
People will proclaim YOUR mighty deeds; and I will declare YOUR greatness.
They will celebrate YOUR abundant kindness, and rejoice in singing of YOUR justice.
Compassionate and gracious is YAHWEH, slow to anger and abounding in love.
YAHWEH is good to everyone; HIS mercy embraces all HIS creation.
All YOUR works will give YOU thanks; all YOUR saints, O YAHWEH, will praise YOU.
They will tell of the glory of YOUR kingdom; and speak of YOUR power."
- Psalm 145:2-11
(When we reflect on what GOD has done for us, we remember that this is what GOD has always done; our lives are borne along on the unending stream of divine love. To the eternal GOD, eternal praise be given.
The central place of the 'reign of GOD' unites this psalm with the core of the preaching of JESUS 'the Kingdom of GOD' [cf. Mark 1:13-14] which must continue to grow in our society. That is why, it is necessary to pray with this psalm while we pray: 'YOUR kingdom come.')
