Psalm 111
Vers 1
O give the LORD wholehearted praise!
In thankful song my voice I raise
within the righteous congregation.
Great are the doings of the LORD,
and all to whom they joy afford
will study them with dedication.
Vers 2
In majesty and glory stand
the works of his almighty hand.
His righteousness endures forever.
He caused his wondrous acts to be
preserved in thought and memory;
his love and mercy will not waver.
Vers 3
The LORD gives food with open hand
to all who honour his command;
he keeps his covenant obligations.
His mighty deeds has he made known:
he gave his people, as their own,
the heritage of heathen nations.
Vers 4
The wondrous works his hands have done
are just and faithful, every one;
his precepts all will stand unshaken.
They will endure eternally;
secure and firm is all that he
has in uprightness undertaken.
Vers 5
To Israel he redemption sent;
eternal is God’s covenant.
His holy name is all-surpassing.
The fear of God is wisdom’s source,
a light to all who walk its course.
His glorious praise is everlasting!
