Great Are the LORD's Works

1Praise the LORD!

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

2Great are the works of the LORD,

studied by all who delight in them.

3Full of splendour and majesty is his work,

and his righteousness endures for ever.

4He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;

the LORD is gracious and merciful.

5He provides food for those who fear him;

he remembers his covenant for ever.

6He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

7The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are trustworthy;

8they are established for ever and ever,

to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

9He sent redemption to his people;

he has commanded his covenant for ever.

Holy and awesome is his name!

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

all those who practise it have a good understanding.

His praise endures for ever!
