Psalm 111[a]

Praise theLord.[b]

I will extol theLord(A)with all my heart(B)
    in the council(C)of the upright and in the assembly.(D)

Great are the works(E)of theLord;
    they are pondered by all(F)who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
    and his righteousness endures(G)forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
    theLordis gracious and compassionate.(H)
He provides food(I)for those who fear him;(J)
    he remembers his covenant(K)forever.

He has shown his people the power of his works,(L)
    giving them the lands of other nations.(M)
The works of his hands(N)are faithful and just;
    all his precepts are trustworthy.(O)
They are established for ever(P)and ever,
    enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption(Q)for his people;
    he ordained his covenant forever—
    holy and awesome(R)is his name.

10 The fear of theLord(S)is the beginning of wisdom;(T)
    all who follow his precepts have good understanding.(U)
    To him belongs eternal praise.(V)
