Psalms 145:3-9 The Message (MSG)
GOD is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness. Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts. Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking; I compose songs on your wonders. Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness. The fame of your goodness spreads across the country; your righteousness is on everyone’s lips. GOD is all mercy and grace— not quick to anger, is rich in love. GOD is good to one and all; everything he does is soaked through with grace.

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works.
