1 Alleluia. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out according to all his will. Notesn1 Comp. Gr. with Heb.
3 His work is worthy of thanksgiving and honour : and his righteousness endures for ever and ever.
4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered : the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
5 He has given food to them that fear him : he will remember his covenant for ever.
6 He has declared to his people the power of his works, to give them the inheritance of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment : all his commandments are sure :
8 established for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption to his people : he commanded his covenant for ever : holy and fearful is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and all that act accordingly have a good understanding ; his praise endures for ever and ever. Notesn1 Or, sum.
