Works of the Lord

The Lord is good to all 
and compassionate toward all his works. 
Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord, 
and let your faithful ones bless you. 
PSALM 145:9-10


The works of the Lord are the things that God has done, is doing, and will do in the world and in the lives of his people. They include his creation, his providence, his miracles, his salvation, his judgment, and his glory. 

The works of the Lord are great, marvelous, wonderful, and righteous, and that they reveal His character, His power, and His wisdom (Psalm 111:2-4)1. 

We should praise, thank, remember, study, and declare the works of the Lord, and that we should seek, follow, and do his will (Psalm 105:1-5; Psalm 119:27; Psalm 145:4-7).

I will extol you, O my God and King, and I will bless your name forever and ever. The Lord is good to all and compassionate toward all his works. Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord, and let your faithful ones bless you. Let them discourse of the glory of your Kingdom and speak of your might. Let them make known to men your might and the glorious splendor of your Kingdom. Your Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages, and your dominion endures through all generations. (Psalm 145:1, 9, 10-11, 12-13)

Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord, and let your faithful ones bless you for you are the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is in them. You are the source of all life and love, the giver of every good and perfect gift. You are worthy of all praise and honor and glory, for your works are marvelous and your ways are wonderful. You are faithful to your promises and loyal to your covenant, for your love endures forever and your kindness never fails. Amen.
