Psalms 111

1 Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

2 The LORD’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
