Psalms 111
Intro: Men should praise God for his glorious and gracious works.
1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honorable and glorious; and his righteousness endureth forever.
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 showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant forever; holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise endureth forever.
