Psalm 111

¹Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, *in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation.

²Great are the deeds of the Lord! *they are studied by all who delight in them.

³His work is full of majesty and splendor, *and his righteousness endures for ever.

⁴He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; *the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

⁵He gives food to those who fear him; *he is ever mindful of his covenant.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works *in giving them the lands of the nations.

⁷The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; *all his commandments are sure.

⁸They stand fast for ever and ever, *because they are done in truth and equity.

⁹He sent redemption to his people; he commanded his covenant for ever; *holy and awesome is his Name.

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; *those who act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever.
