Psalm 111: 1-10

I will extol the Lord with all my heart     in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

² Great are the works of the Lord;     they are pondered by all who delight in them. ³ Glorious and majestic are his deeds,     and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ He has caused his wonders to be remembered;     the Lord is gracious and compassionate. ⁵ He provides food for those who fear him;     he remembers his covenant forever.

⁶ He has shown his people the power of his works,     giving them the lands of other nations. ⁷ The works of his hands are faithful and just;     all his precepts are trustworthy. ⁸ They are established for ever and ever,     enacted in faithfulness and uprightness. ⁹ He provided redemption for his people;     he ordained his covenant forever—     holy and awesome is his name.

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;     all who follow his precepts have good understanding.     To him belongs eternal praise.
