Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all my heart, in the assembled congregation of his people.

2 Great are the things that the Lord has done, worthy of study by those who love them.

3 Majestic and glorious is his work, and his righteousness abides forever.

4 For his marvellous deeds he has won renown; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

5 Food he gives to those who fear him, always he remembers his covenant.

6 His mighty works he has shown to his people, in giving to them the nations for heritage.

7 All that he does is faithful and right, all his behests are firm and sure.

8 They are established for ever and ever, executed with truth and uprightness.

9 To his people he sent redemption, he has appointed his covenant forever. His name is holy and awe-inspiring.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom those who keep it are wise indeed. His praise abides for ever and ever.
