Praise for God’s Wonderful Works

¹ Praise the Lord!

   studied by all who delight in them.
³ Full of honour and majesty is his work,
   and his righteousness endures for ever.

   the Lord is gracious and merciful.
⁵ He provides food for those who fear him;
   he is ever mindful of his covenant.
⁶ He has shown his people the power of his works,
   in giving them the heritage of the nations.
⁷ The works of his hands are faithful and just;
   all his precepts are trustworthy.
⁸ They are established for ever and ever,
   to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
⁹ He sent redemption to his people;
   he has commanded his covenant for ever.
   Holy and awesome is his name.
¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
   all those who practise it^* have a good understanding.
   His praise endures for ever.
