2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

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

9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
