- Kapitel 111 -

Majestic is his work

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

Majestic is his work

Praise the LORD!(a) I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

The LORD’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
