Psalms 111
The Lord Praised for His Goodness.
1 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
I (a)will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the (b)company of the upright and in the assembly.
2 (c)Great are the works of the Lord;
They are [c](d)studied by all who delight in them.
3 [d](e)Splendid and majestic is His work,
And (f)His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His [e]wonders [f]to be remembered;
The Lord is (g)gracious and compassionate.
5 He has (h)given [g]food to those who [h]fear Him;
He will (i)remember His covenant forever.
6 He has made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are [i](j)truth and justice;
All His precepts (k)are [j]sure.
8 They are (l)upheld forever and ever;
They are performed in [k](m)truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent (n)redemption to His people;
He has [l]ordained His covenant forever;
(o)Holy and [m]awesome is His name.
10 The [n](p)fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A (q)good understanding have all those who [o]do His commandments;
His (r)praise endures forever.
