Psalm 111

1 Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the godly and the congregation.

2 The Lord’s deeds are great, eagerly awaited by all who desire them.

3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his faithfulness endures forever.

4 He does amazing things that will be remembered; the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

5 He gives food to his faithful followers; he always remembers his covenant.

6 He announced that he would do mighty deeds for his people, giving them a land that belonged to other nations.

7 His acts are characterized by faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable.

8 They are forever firm, and should be faithfully and properly carried out.

9 He delivered his people; he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. His name is holy and awesome.

10 To obey the Lord is the fundamental principle for wise living; all who carry out his precepts acquire good moral insight. He will receive praise forever.
