1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the 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 of all them that have delight therein. 3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever. 4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant. 6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. 7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure. 8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.
