Cambridge Bible on Psalms 145:12
12. his mighty acts] Somewhat awkwardly, to our ideas, the Psalmist passes from the second person to the third. The LXX removes the difficulty by reading the second person; hence, through the Vulg., the P.B.V. “that thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom might be known unto men.”

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts - To bring other people to understand and to appreciate the evidences of the power of God. A man who sees this himself will wish that others may see it also.
