Psalms 111

1 Praise Yahweh. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright, in their gathering.

2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.

3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 He does wonderful things that will be remembered; Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

5 He gives food to his faithful followers. He will always call to mind his covenant.

6 He showed his powerful works to his people in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.

8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.

9 He gave victory to his people; he ordained his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.

10 To honor Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; those who carry out his instructions have good understanding. His praise endures forever.
