1Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. +

2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. +

3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. +

4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. +

5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. +

6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. +

8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. +

9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. +

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. +
