Psalms 111

1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

Hallelujah. 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: sought out according to all his wills.

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

3 His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

6 He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

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

8 All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

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

9 He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.
