1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
