1Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments : his praise endureth for ever.
Psalm 111
New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1Praise the LORD. I will praise the LORD with all my heart. I will praise him where honest people gather for worship.2The LORD has done great things. All who take delight in those things think deeply about them.3What he does shows his glory and majesty. He will always do what is right.4The LORD causes his wonders to be remembered. He is kind and tender.5He provides food for those who have respect for him. He remembers his covenant for ever.6He has shown his people what his power can do. He has given them the lands of other nations.7He is faithful and right in everything he does. All his rules can be trusted.8They will stand firm for ever and ever. They were given by the LORD. He is faithful and honest.9He set his people free. He made a covenant with them that will last for ever. His name is holy and wonderful.10If you really want to become wise, you must begin by having respect for the LORD. All those who follow his rules have good understanding. People should praise him for ever.
