Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

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

2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

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

3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.

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

4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

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

5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.

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 by giving them the inheritance 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 trustworthy.

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

8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted 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; holy and awesome is His name.

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 who follow His precepts gain rich 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.
