Psalm 145

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and great in mercy.” Psalm 145:8, (NASV)
 
     Oh Lord, let my children exalt and praise Your Name forever. May they daily praise You for You are great and worthy of praise. Let them tell of Your marvelous works, oh God, speaking of Your glorious majesty, meditating on Your words, and proclaiming Your great deeds. Oh God, I pray You will shower them with Your abundant goodness so they may celebrate Your righteousness with joy. Pour out Your grace, compassion, and rich love but be slow to anger.

     Lord, I pray they will extol You and praise You, telling   of Your glorious Kingdom and speaking of Your wonderful might. Be faithful to them, I plead, for You fulfill Your promises and love to all whom You have created. When they fall, uphold them. When they are bowed low, lift them up. Yet let their eyes look to You with trust in Your timely provision. Lord, open Your hand so You might satisfy their desires for You are righteous in all Your ways and love all whom You have made. When they call, draw near to them, and fulfill them. Hear their pleas and save them, I pray. In the same way, watch over them, oh God, as You destroy the wicked. Fill my children’s mouths with praise to Your Holy Name forever.
