Psalm 111 complete

[1] Alleluia. I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart, in the assembly of the just and in the assembly.

[2] Great works of the Lord, may those who love them contemplate them.


[3] His works are the splendor of beauty, his justice lasts forever.

[4] He left a reminder of his wonders: pity and tenderness is the Lord. [5] He gives food to those who fear him, he always remembers his covenant.

[6] He showed his people the power of his works, gave him the legacy of the people.


[7] The works of his hands are truth and justice, all his commands are stable,

[8] unchanging over the centuries, forever, performed with fidelity and righteousness.

[9] He sent to free his people, established his covenant forever.

[10] His name is holy and terrible. The principle of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, wise is he who is faithful to him; the praise of the Lord is endless.
