Psalm 145:1
“I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 145Meaning
The hymn begins with personal, durable praise rather than a claim of political control.
Read carefully
The verse praises God directly and does not confer divine-right legitimacy on modern governments.
Reflection
Let praise shape long-term loyalty to God without turning divine kingship into coercive human politics.
