Psalms 145:1
I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever.
BSB
ASV
I will extol thee, my God, O King; And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
KJV
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
I will extol thee, my God, O King,.... Or "the King" (a), the King Messiah, who is by way of eminency called "the King", as in Psa 21:
I will extol thee, my God, O king. David as God's king adores God as his king. It is well when the Lord's royalty arouses our loyalty, and our spirit is moved to magnify his majesty. The Psalmist has extolled his Lord many a time before, he is doing so still, and he will do so in the future: praise is for all tenses. When we cannot express all our praise just now, it is wise to register our resolution to continue in the blessed work, and write it down as a bond, "I will extol thee."
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
