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 give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, 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 of all them that have pleasure therein.

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

His work is honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

He hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are sure.

8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.

They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

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

He hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend 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 that do thereafter: his praise endureth for ever.
