Comment – While showing traces of other psalms, Psalm 145 is very beautiful and stimulating for faith, an invitation to hope in divine mercy and to praise God. The psalmist turns to God recognizing him as king and saying that he wants to exalt him forever for the wonders created , he knows that he is a sinner but also that the mercy of God is great for the goodness and love he has for all men.
