Psalm 145 - Great is the Lord

This is a Psalm of unadulterated praise to the Lord. We will praise and exalt the name of the Lord forever. After Christ's return we will do this forever, and this is a part of eternity that we can, and should, start now.
There no limits to the extent of God's greatness. Sometimes people may wonder "won't we get bored praising God for ever". There are two answers to this. One is that eternity is much more than things simply going on forever. Time will be different than it is now, along with almost everything else. The second is that there are no limits to the wonder and depths of God's greatness, there will always be new things to discover, so boredom will not be a problem!
As well as His greatness, God is good to all that He has made. And His creation, including us, will sing of His greatness. 
Despite the greatness of God, He has concern for the lowly and helps us when we fall. God is truly great because He helps the weak. If we call upon the Lord He is near to us, but He will destroy the wicked. For those who reject God there is only judgement.
