Psalms 111

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

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

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

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

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

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

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

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

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

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

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
