Praise for God’s Amazing Deeds[a]

111 Hallelujah!
I will give thanks to the Lord with all of my heart
    in the assembled congregation of the upright.
Great are the acts of the Lord;
    they are within reach of[b] all who desire them.
Splendid and glorious are his awesome deeds,
    and his righteousness endures forever.
He is remembered for his awesome deeds;
    the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
He prepares food[c] for those who fear him;
    he is ever mindful of his covenant.
He revealed his mighty deeds to his people
    by giving them a country of their own.[d]
Whatever he does is[e] reliable and just,
    and all his precepts are trustworthy,
sustained through all eternity,
    and fashioned in both truth and righteousness.
He sent deliverance to his people;
    he ordained his covenant to last forever;
        his name is holy and awesome.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
    sound understanding belongs to those who practice it.
Praise of God[f] endures forever.
