# Psalms 111

*Men should praise God for his glorious and gracious works.*

**1** Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly 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 honourable and glorious; 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 showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
**7** The works of his hands are verity and judgment,- all his commandments are sure.
**8** They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
**9** He sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant forever; 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 his commandments; his praise endureth for ever.
