1 Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them. 3 His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant. 6 He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen. 7 The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure; 8 They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice. 9 He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
