Psalms 111

The psalmist praises God for his great works, justice, and mercy, and for providing for those who fear him. God's commands are faithful and true, and he has sent redemption to his people through his eternal covenant. The psalmist concludes that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and that his praise endures forever.

1Alleluia.

And his justice remains from age to age4He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord5He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age6He will announce the virtue of his works to his people7so that he may give them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are truth and judgment8All his commands are faithful: confirmed from age to age, created in truth and fairness9He has sent redemption upon his people. He has commanded his covenant for all eternity. Holy and terrible is his name10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age
