Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

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 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.

3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.

7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
