| 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.

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, 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 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 his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. |
