Psalms 111
Great Are the Lord's Works
1 [a] (a)Praise the Lord!
I (b)will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of (c)the upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the (d)works of the Lord,
(e)studied by all who delight in them.
3 (f)Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his (g)righteousness endures forever.
4 He has (h)caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he (i)remembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are (j)trustworthy;
8 they are (k)established forever and ever,
to be performed with (l)faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He sent (m)redemption to his people;
he has (n)commanded his covenant forever.
(o)Holy and awesome is his name!
10 (p)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have (q)a good understanding.
His (r)praise endures forever!
