Psalms 111

1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

2 Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out by all them that have pleasure in them.

3 His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

His work [is] honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

5 He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

He hath given food to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

He hath shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.

8 All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.

9 He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

He sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
