Psalms Chapter 111

                                                                        1Hallelujah!

I thank the LORD with all my heart

      in the presence of his godly people.

2 His works are so outstanding

            no one that delights in them

            can quit thinking about them;

         3their splendor and majesty

            reflect his eternal goodness;

         4he makes his amazing acts memorable

            because they show his grace and mercy.

5 He feeds those who respect him

            and remembers his covenant with them;

         6he demonstrated his power to his people

                  by giving them other nations’ land.                           

Ps 111:1-6

7 His works are just and true;

      so his people can trust his commandments

                  8to bring eternal security

            when they practice them sincerely.

9 He has provided redemption for his people

            and ordained his covenant with them forever;

      he’s holy and awesome.

10 Respecting the LORD is the most important thing about being wise;

      doing what he commands brings understanding.

                                                Praise him forever.                

Ps 111:7-10
