PSALM 111
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion—Holy and reverend is his name—The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
1 P
RAISE ye the L
ORD. I will praise the L
ORD with
my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and
in the congregation.
2 The works of the L
ORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the L
ORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
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 verity and judgment; all his commandments
are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever,
and are done in truth and uprightness.
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 L
ORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do
his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
