1 Praise ye the Lord. I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are sure.
8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter: his praise endureth for ever.
