Psalms 145

his thoughts Heb. עשתונותיו his thoughts.

Praiseworthy is he in whose help is the God of Jacob, for the Holy One, blessed be He, promised him (Gen. 28:15): “Behold I am with you, and I shall guard You, etc., and I shall return you.” Now why is He praiseworthy? Because He made heaven and earth and the sea, and since all is His, He has the power to guard him on the sea and on dry land; but a mortal king, although he watches him on dry land, cannot watch him on the sea.

Who keeps truth forever To the end of many generations, He fulfills and keeps the truth of His promise.

strengthens Heb. יעודד, an expression of strength.

The Lord will reign forever He will perpetuate His kingdom with the redemption of His children.
