Psalm 111 – In Praise of the Divine Goodness
1 Hallelujah.
I will thank the Lord with all my heart,
in the assembled congregation of his people.
2 Great are the things that the Lord has done,
worthy of study by those who love them.
3 Majestic and glorious is his work,
and his righteousness abides forever.
4 For his marvellous deeds he has won renown;
the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 Food he gives to those who revere him,
always he remembers his covenant.
6 His mighty works he has shown to his people,
in giving to them the nations for heritage.
7 All that he does is faithful and right,
all his behests are firm and sure.
8 They are established for ever and ever,
executed with truth and uprightness.
9 To his people he sent redemption,
he has appointed his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.
10 Reverence for the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
those who keep it are wise indeed.
His praise abides for ever and ever.
