PSALM 111


111:1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

111:2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

111:3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

111:4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

111:5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

111:6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

111:7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

111:8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

111:9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.
