Psalm 111

1        Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart

                   I will God's praise declare,

          Where the assemblies of the just

                   and congregations are.

2        The whole works of the Lord our God

                   are great above all measure,

          Sought out they are of ev'ry one

                   that doth therein take pleasure.

3        His work most honourable is,

                   most glorious and pure,

          And his untainted righteousness

                   for ever doth endure.

4        His works most wonderful he hath

                   made to be thought upon:

          The Lord is gracious, and he is

                   full of compassion.

5        He giveth meat unto all those

                   that truly do him fear;

          And evermore his covenant

                   he in his mind will bear.

6        He did the power of his works

                   unto his people show,

          When he the heathen's heritage

                   upon them did bestow.

7        His handy-works are truth and right;

                   all his commands are sure:

8        And, done in truth and uprightness,

                   they evermore endure.

9        He sent redemption to his folk;

                   his covenant for aye

          He did command: holy his name

                   and rev'rend is alway.

10      Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:

                   good understanding they

          Have all that his commands fulfill:

                   his praise endures for aye.
