Psalm 111

₁ Praise 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 delight in them.

₃Full of splendor and majesty is his work,

and his righteousness endures forever.

₄He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful.

₅He provides food for those who fear him;

he remembers his covenant forever.

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

in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

₇The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are trustworthy;

₈they are established forever and ever,

to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

₉He sent redemption to his people;

he has commanded his covenant forever.

Holy and awesome is his name!

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

all those who practice it have a good understanding.

His praise endures forever!
