Great Are the Lord's Works

1 Praise 1 the LORD!
a I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 b The works of the LORD are great,
c Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 His work is d honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
e The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the 2 heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are f verity 3 and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
8 g They stand fast forever and ever,
And are h done in truth and uprightness.
9 i He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
j Holy and awesome is His name.
10 k The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
