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.

PSALM 111
1Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly. 2Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them. 3His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever. 4He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful. 5He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations. 7The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful: 8Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness. 9He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name. 10The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his precepts: his praise abideth for ever.
