Psalm 111

¹Praise the Lord!

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

²Great are the works of the Lord,

studied by all who have pleasure in them.

³Full of honor and majesty is his work,

and his righteousness endures for ever.

⁴He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful.

⁵He provides food for those who fear him;

he is ever mindful of his covenant.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the heritage of the nations.

⁷The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are trustworthy,

⁸they are established for ever and ever,

to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

⁹He sent redemption to his people;

he has commanded his covenant for ever.

Holy and terrible is his name!

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

a good understanding have all those who practice it.

His praise endures for ever!
