Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the
works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
Full of
splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is
gracious and merciful.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he
remembers his covenant forever.
He has shown his people the power of his
works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The works of
his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy;
they
are established forever and ever,
to be performed with a faithfulness and
uprightness.
He sent redemption to his people;
he has commanded his
covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is his name!
The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good
understanding.
His praise endures forever!
Psalm 111
What a Psalm!
I literally had goosebumps yesterday when i read it, and kept returning to it throughout the day. The vision it casts is of a holy, awesome, splendid, faithful, righteous, trustworthy, covenant keeping, gracious & merciful God who provides for us, does wondrous works and sends redemption.
