1 Praise ye the LORD. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 His work is honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are sure.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 He hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter: his praise endureth for ever.
