It is actually impossible to do even a cursory examination of Psalm 145 and not begin to rejoice! Every verse speaks of the wonderful attributes of the character of God or of the numerous wonderful things He has done for us! So, I am posting the entire Psalm here for YOUR rejoicing!
Psalm 145 [A Psalm] of praise. Of David.
1 I WILL extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever [with grateful, affectionate praise].
2 Every day [with its new reasons] will I bless You [affectionately and gratefully praise You]; yes, I will praise Your name forever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; and His greatness is [so vast and deep as to be] unsearchable.
4 One generation shall laud Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.
5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wondrous works I will meditate.
6 Men shall speak of the might of Your tremendous and terrible acts, and I will declare Your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth [like a fountain] the fame of Your great and abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of Your rightness and justice.
8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness.
9 The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created].
10 All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your loving ones shall bless You [affectionately and gratefully shall Your saints confess and praise You]!
11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power,
12 To make known to the sons of men God's mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
14 The Lord upholds all those [of His own] who are falling and raises up all those who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait for You [looking, watching, and expecting] and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing with favor.
17 The Lord is [rigidly] righteous in all His ways and gracious and merciful in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20 The Lord preserves all those who love Him, but all the wicked will He destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; and let all flesh bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) His holy name forever and ever.
The very first declaration that David makes here is that HE was going to extol His God! The Dictionary definition of extol says: to praise highly and enthusiastically! I can do that! How about YOU? Extol Him in your own words today, AND with HIS Word! Then continue to extol Him in the Spirit! Perfect words! AMEN! Here is another encouragement to extol Him in the song "Shout Your Fame" from Hillsong Kids:
Some say You're just a good man
Some say You were kind
Some say You are in the grave
But I say You're alive
Some say You're just a prophet
Some say You were wise
Some say You were just a man
But I say You are God
You are my God
I will shout Your fame to all the earth
I will lift Your name on high
And the world will know Your greatness
You are my God, I will shout Your fame
I know You're the Messiah
You gave Your life for me
And I know You're the only way
Jesus You are God
You are my God
I will shout Your fame to all the earth
I will lift Your name on high
I will show the world Your greatness
You are my God, Jesus
I will shout Your fame to all the earth
I will lift Your name on high
I will show the world Your goodness
As I live a life that shouts Your fame
As I live a life that shouts Your fame
Jesus, I decide to live
Live a life that shouts Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
Shout Your fame
