PSALM 111
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
I will God's praise declare,
Where the assemblies of the just
and congregations are.
2The whole works of the Lord our God
are great above all measure,
Sought out they are of ev'ry one
that doth therein take pleasure.
3His work most honourable is,
most glorious and pure,
And his untainted righteousness
for ever doth endure.
4His works most wonderful he hath
made to be thought upon:
The Lord is gracious,
and he is full of compassion.
5He giveth meat unto all those
that truly do him fear;
And evermore his covenant
he in his mind will bear.
6He did the power of his works
unto his people show,
When he the heathen's heritage
upon them did bestow.
7His handy-works are truth and right;
all his commands are sure:
8And, done in truth and uprightness,
they evermore endure.
9He sent redemption to his folk;
his covenant for aye
He did command: holy his name
and rev'rend is alway.
10Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:
good understanding they
Have all that his commands fulfill:
his praise endures for aye.

Psalms 111
111
1Praise ye Jehovah.
I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,
In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
2The works of Jehovah are great,
Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3His work is honor and majesty;
And his righteousness endureth for ever.
4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:
Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
5He hath given food unto them that fear him:
He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6He hath showed his people the power of his works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7The works of his hands are truth and justice;
All his precepts are sure.
8They are established for ever and ever;
They are done in truth and uprightness.
9He hath sent redemption unto his people;
He hath commanded his covenant for ever:
Holy and reverend is his name.
10The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all they that do his commandments:
His praise endureth for ever.
