Psalm 145:10
All your works will give thanks to you, LORD. Your saints will extol you.
8The LORD is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.
9The LORD is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.
10All your works will give thanks to you, LORD. Your saints will extol you.
11They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power,
12to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
Notice
“All your works” gives thanksgiving a scope larger than any one person's gratitude, while “Your saints” names God's people within that wide chorus of praise.
