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.
