1PRAISE the LORD!
I will praise the LORD with all my heart,
in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of the LORD;
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Splendid and majestic are His deeds,
and His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered;
the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He provides food for those who fear Him;
He is ever mindful of His covenant.
6 He has showed His people the power of His works,
for He gave them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice;
all His precepts are trustworthy.
8 They are established forever and ever,
performed in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
His name is holy and awesome.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who practice His precepts gain sound understanding.
His praise endures forever.
