Praise the LORD!

Psalm 111 (New International Version)

1Praise the LORD. I will extol the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.2Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.3Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.4He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.5He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.6He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations.7The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy.8They are steadfast for ever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness.9He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever-- holy and awesome is his name.10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
