Chapter 111

God is praised, Fear of the Lord brings wisdom


1

Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

2

The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3

His work is honorable and glorious; and his righteousness endureth forever.

4

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

5

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6

He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

8

They stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness.

9

He sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant forever; holy and reverend is his name.

10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise endureth forever.
