Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by Peter Wenzel, taken by Martha Wiggins, Vatican Museum, 2012
Yesterday I shared the first part of Psalm 145. I wrote about the longevity of the Lord’s works as continually viewed in the majesty of His creation. In the rest of the Psalm, shared here today, we learn how the Lord treats all of His works, His creation, with compassion and faithfulness. Just as He is faithful in word and deed to us, we must also be faithful in word and deed to Him. We are His faithful people and we are to share Him with all, to tell of the glory of His kingdom and pass it down from generation to generation so that all may be saved. Let our words and our deeds proclaim Him to the ends of the earth!
The Lord is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
All your works praise you, Lord;
your faithful people extol you.
They tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
so that all people may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
and faithful in all he does.
The Lord upholds all who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.
You open your hand
and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does.
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord watches over all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
Let every creature praise his holy name
for ever and ever. Psalm 145:9-21
