Psalm 111
Praise for God’s Wonderful Works
1 Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.(A)
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Full of honor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.(B)
4 He has gained renown by his wonderful deeds;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.(C)
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he is ever mindful of his covenant.(D)
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.(E)
8 They are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.(F)
9 He sent redemption to his people;
he has commanded his covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is his name.(G)
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it[a] have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever.(H)
