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 honor and majesty is his work,
    and his righteousness endures forever.
4He has gained renown by his wonderful deeds;
    the Lord is gracious and merciful.
5He provides food for those who fear him;
    he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6He has shown his people the power of his works,
    in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7The works of his hands are faithful and just;
    all his precepts are trustworthy.
8They are established forever and ever,
    to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
9He sent redemption to his people;
    he has commanded his covenant forever.
    Holy and awesome is his name.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
    all those who practice it[a] have a good understanding.
    His praise endures forever.
