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.

1Halleluyah!
I will wholeheartedly give thanks to Adonai
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2The deeds of Adonai are great,
greatly desired by all who enjoy them.
3His work is full of majesty and splendor,
and his righteousness continues forever.
4He has gained renown for his wonders.
Adonai is merciful and compassionate.
5He gives food to those who fear him.
He remembers his covenant forever.
6He shows his people how powerfully he works
by giving them the nations as their heritage.
7The works of his hands are truth and justice;
all his precepts can be trusted.
8They have been established forever and ever,
to be carried out truly and honestly.
9He sent redemption to his people
and decreed that his covenant should last forever.
His name is holy and fearsome —
10the first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai;
all those living by it gain good common sense.
His praise stands forever.
