Psalm 145 Summary

Psalm 145 is David's great acrostic of praise — «I will extol you, my God and King» — celebrating the LORD's greatness, kindness, and faithfulness.

Each verse begins with a Hebrew letter, line by line. David proclaims God's greatness, his works from generation to generation, his graciousness, his nearness to the broken.

Verses 15–16 give a memorable line: «The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing.» A psalm to sing slowly, day by day.
