Psalms

1Praise the LORD!I will give thanks to the LORDwith my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2The LORD’s works are great,pondered by all those who delight in them.

3His work is honour and majesty.His righteousness endures forever.

4He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.The LORD is gracious and merciful.

5He has given food to those who fear him.He always remembers his covenant.

6He has shown his people the power of his works,in giving them the heritage of the nations.

7The works of his hands are truth and justice.All his precepts are sure.

8They are established forever and ever.They are done in truth and uprightness.

9He has sent redemption to his people.He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.All those who do his work have a good understanding.His praise endures forever!

1Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

3Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

4To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

5Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6Because he shall not be moved for ever.

7The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

8His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

9He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

10The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
