Psalms 111

1 Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart in the congregation of the faithful.

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

2 All the wonderful things the Lord has done are studied by everyone who loves them.

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

3 His majesty and honor are revealed by what he does; his goodness lasts forever.

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

4 He wants the wonderful things he has done to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and kind.

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

5 He feeds those who respect him; he always remembers the agreement he made.

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

6 He demonstrated to his people the powerful things he could do by giving them the lands of other nations.

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

7 Everything he does can be depended on, and is right; all his commandments are trustworthy.

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

8 They remain rock-solid forever. He was true and right in saying what should be done.

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

9 He delivered his people. He commanded that his agreement would continue forever. How holy and awesome is his reputation!

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

10 The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!

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.
