Psalms 111:1 - 111:10

1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord [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 Lord [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 Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments his praise endureth for ever.
