Psalms 111
1Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.
2The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.
3His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.
6He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.
7The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;
8They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.
9He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
