Psalm 111 – In Praise of the Divine Goodness
Hallelujah.
I will thank the Lord with all my heart,
in the assembled congregation of his people.
Great are the things that the Lord has done,
worthy of study by those who love them.
Majestic and glorious is his work,
and his righteousness abides forever.
For his marvelous deeds he has won renown;
the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
Food he gives to those who fear him,
always he remembers his covenant.
His mighty works he has shown to his people,
in giving to them the nations for heritage.
All that he does is faithful and right,
all his behests are firm and sure.
They are established for ever and ever,
executed with truth and uprightness.
To his people he sent redemption,
he has appointed his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
those who keep it are wise indeed.
His praise abides for ever and ever.
