Psalm 45:17 (NAS)
I will cause Thy name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the peoples will give Thee thanks forever and ever.

Psalm 45:17 (NIVUS)
I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.

Psalms 145:7 (KJV)
They shall eagerly utter the memory of Thine abundant goodness, And shall shout joyfully of Thy righteousness.

Psalms 145:7 (NLT)
They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

As a minister of the gospel, you have been given the opportunity and privilege to direct people to the One who is the Author and Finisher of that gospel. You have been ordained to proclaim His name and to establish His covenant. You are a sign and a memorial that brings glory and honor to His name, causing His fame and reputation to be widely known. You remind others, whether old or young, from generation to generation, that He, Emmanuel, has chosen to dwell with men

Therefore, the peoples and nations, those who formerly lived in darkness, praise Him. They throw up their hands and lift their voices in thanksgiving to the Lord of all. They continuously confess His name and His word. Forever shall His praise be on their lips.

Praises gush and flow forth from both your mouth and the mouths of your brethren. You cannot stop the spring that bubbles up from inside when you remember His greatness and abundant goodness. He has shown you His favor, causing fairness, beauty, joy, and prosperity to fill your life. You, therefore, shout for joy and sing in exaltation as you think and ponder on His justice and righteousness.
