Psalms 111

1 Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

Praise you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

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

5 He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

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

6 He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

He has showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

8 They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

He sent redemption to his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
