Psalm 111 ©

The prophet exhorts all people, by his example, to praise God, relating the gloriousness of His works, and exhorting everyone to the practice of piety.

1

PRAISE ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, 1in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2

The works of the LORD are great, 2sought out 3of all them that have pleasure therein.

3

4His work 5is 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 6meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful 7of his covenant.

6

He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them 8the heritage of the heathen.

7

The works of his hands 9are verity and judgment; all 10his commandments are sure.

8

They 11stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

9

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath 12commanded his covenant for 13ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10

The fear of the LORD is 14the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do 15his commandments: 16his praise endureth for ever.
