Psalms 111

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

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: sought out according to all his wills.

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

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

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

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

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; 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 giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

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

He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

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

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

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

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

9 He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible 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. 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 who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
