Psalms 145:21

My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, making it his business to extol Him everywhere and at all times; and let all flesh, joining the psalmist in his grateful anthem, bless His holy name forever and ever, glorifying Him for all the various ways in which He manifested Himself for the benefit of mankind in general and of His Church in particular; for the believers are looking forward to everlasting salvation in heaven.
