“1 Hallelujah!I will praise the Lord with all my heart

in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

2 The Lord’s works are great,

studied by all who delight in them.

3 All that He does is splendid and majestic;

His righteousness endures forever.

4 He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate.

5 He has provided food for those who fear Him;

He remembers His covenant forever.

6 He has shown His people the power of His works

by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice;

all His instructions are trustworthy.

8 They are established forever and ever,

enacted in truth and in what is right.

9 He has sent redemption to His people.

He has ordained His covenant forever.

His name is holy and awe- inspiring.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all who follow His instructions have good insight.

His praise endures forever.”

Psalm 111
