A Psalm of David.
[111:1] Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
[111:2] Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.
[111:3] Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.
[111:4] He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and merciful.
[111:5] He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.
[111:6] He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
[111:7] The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy;
[111:8] they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
[111:9] He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!
[111:10] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
