Psalm 111

Psalm 111 – In Praise of the Divine Goodness

1Hallelujah.

I will thank the Lord with all my heart,

in the assembled congregation of his people.

2Great are the things that the Lord has done,

worthy of study by those who love them.

3Majestic and glorious is his work,

and his righteousness abides forever.

4For his marvelous deeds he has won renown;

the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

5Food he gives to those who revere him,

always he remembers his covenant.

6His mighty works he has shown to his people,

in giving to them the nations for heritage.

7All that he does is faithful and right,

all his behests are firm and sure.

8They are established for ever and ever,

executed with truth and uprightness.

9To his people he sent redemption,

he has appointed his covenant forever.

His name is holy and awe-inspiring.

10Reverence for the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

those who keep it are wise indeed.

His praise abides for ever and ever.
