David extols God, his king, and blesses his name forever. He will bless God daily and praise him forever for his greatness, which is unsearchable. Every generation will praise him to the next and declare his mighty acts. His majesty is glorious and honorable; and his works are wondrous. All men shall speak of his terrifying acts and declare his greatness (1-6). They will speak abundantly of his great goodness and will sing of his righteousness. The LORD is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and great in mercy. He is good to all. His tender mercies are over all of his works. All of his works will praise him; and his saints will bless him (7-10). They will speak of the glory of his kingdom and his power, making known his mighty acts and the glorious majesty of his kingdom, which is everlasting and endures throughout all generations (11-13). The LORD upholds all who fall, and raises all who are bowed down. The eyes of all wait on God; and he gives them their food in due season. He opens his hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous and holy in all of his ways and works. He is near those who call upon him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him; he will hear their cry; he will save them. He preserves all who love him; but he will destroy the wicked. David will speak the praise of the LORD; and he urges everyone to bless his holy name forever and ever (14-21).

* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer ( Habakkuk) and a musical notation (" upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a " send to" notice (" To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
