Psalm 111
Words: The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, 1887 ed
1 Praise ye the Lord: with all my heart
I will God's praise declare,
Ev'n where assemblies of the just
And congregations are.
2 Jehovah's works are very great
The wonders of his might;
Sought out they are of every one
Who in them takes delight.
3 His work most honorable is,
Most glorious and pure,
And his untainted righteousness
Forever doth endure.
4 His works of wonder he hath made
To be remembered well:
In grace and in compassion great
Jehovah doth excel.
5 The Lord provideth food for all
Who truly do him fear;
And evermore his covenant
He in his mind will bear.
6 He did the power of his works
To his own people show,
That he the heathen's heritage
Upon them might bestow.
7 His hands' works all are truth and right;
All his commands are sure:
And, done in truth and uprightness
They evermore endure.
8 He to his chosen people sent
Redemption by his pow'r;
His covenant he did command
To be forevermore.
9 His name alone most holy is,
In fear to be adored.
Of wisdom the beginning is
To truly fear the Lord.
10 Good understanding have they ail
Who carefully obey
His just commandments ev'ry one
His praise endures for aye.
