Psalm 111

¹ I WILL give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart * secretly among the faithful, 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 worthy to be praised and had in honour * and his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁴ The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marvellous works * that they ought to be had in remembrance.

⁵ He hath given meat unto them that fear him * he shall 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 judgement * all his commandments are true.

⁸ They stand fast for ever and ever * and are done in truth and equity.

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 thereafter; the praise of it endureth for ever.
