The Chosen Key Word in this Chapter is “Goodness” it comes from the Hebrew Word “tuv” which means “goodness.”
David offers a sweeping alphabetical psalm celebrating God’s greatness and goodness to all. Welcome to Bible Life Basics Chapter Reviews, I am Chris and this is Psalm 145.
David declares he will extol God, his King, blessing His name forever and ever, praising Him every day, and blessing His name forever and ever, since great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, His greatness being unsearchable, one generation praising His works to another, and declaring His mighty acts.
David describes speaking of the glorious honor of God’s majesty, and His wondrous works, men speaking of the might of His terrible acts, David declaring His greatness, abundantly uttering the memory of His great “goodness,” “tuv” in Hebrew, singing of His righteousness, describing the Lord as gracious, and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy, good to all, His tender mercies being over all His works.
David declares all God’s works shall praise Him, and His saints shall bless Him, speaking of the glory of His kingdom, and talking of His power, that men might know His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom, His kingdom being an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion enduring throughout all generations, describing how the Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down, the eyes of all waiting upon Him, and He giving them their food in due season, being righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works, being near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth, closing with a promise to speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless His holy name forever and ever.
This final acrostic psalm of David’s, moving methodically through the Hebrew alphabet, offers a comprehensive celebration touching on God’s greatness, goodness, compassion, and faithful provision for every generation. Its beautiful declaration that God is near to all who call upon Him in truth reminds readers that genuine access to His presence remains available to anyone approaching with sincere, honest devotion rather than mere formal ritual.
