Listen from:
1 Praise ye Jah. I will give thanks to Jehovah with a whole heart in the council of the upright and the congregation.
2 Great [are] Jehovah’s works, sought out by all delighting in them.
3 Honor and majesty [are] his work, and his righteousness standing for ever.
4 A memorial he made for his wonders: gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.
5 Food (prey) he gave to those fearing him; he will remember for ever his covenant.
6 The power of his works he hath shown his people, to give them a heritage of nations.
7 The works of his hands [are] truth and judgment; all his precepts [are] sure.
8 Settled [are they] for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.
9 Redemption he sent to his people; he commanded to everlasting his covenant: holy and fearful [is] his name.
10 Fear of Jehovah [is] the beginning of wisdom; good understanding [belongs] to all doing them [i.e. his precepts]; his praise standeth for ever.
Notes on Psalm 111
“ Praise ye Jah.” Jehovah’s works, not here in creation but on behalf of His people, are celebrated: great in themselves; powerful in their effects; permanent in result. How different are man’s! Wise is the fear of Him; and His praise abiding.
