Psalm 145:1-7

 A psalm of praise.  145:1-7

Of David.  

Great, good, giver….

I was reading some commentaries about Psalm 145… they divided the psalm into three parts…the greatness of God, the goodness of God and the givingness of God…so the following verses are about the greatness of God with a few extra verses…

1..I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.  

(I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.psalm 30:1

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.Psalm 34:1

Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. Psalm 5:2

2..Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.  

(From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.  I will ever praise you.

Psalm 71:6)

3..Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.  

(He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
    miracles that cannot be counted.

Job 5:9

Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
    his understanding has no limit.

 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out! 

Romans 11:33)

4..One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.  

(The living, the living—they praise you,
    as I am doing today;
parents tell their children
    about your faithfulness.

Is.38:19)

5..They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.  

(Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,
    that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.

Psalm 119:27)

6..They tell of the power of your awesome works— and I will proclaim your great deeds.  

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe before you.

Psalm 66:3

 I will proclaim the name of the Lord.
    Oh, praise the greatness of our God!

Deut. 32:3

7..They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.  

(I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord,
    the deeds for which he is to be praised,
    according to all the Lord has done for us—Is. 63:7

 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
    you who are God my Savior,
    and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

Psalm 51:14

It is easy to  fly on by the greatness and go right to what we want from Him…I am so guilty of that…when we realize that without Him, there would be nothing…He is the breath we take, His word spoke everything into being…and just everything…He indeed is great…

Thank YOU…

How great thou art…
