PSALM 111 Geneva, 1542/1543 1. O give the Lord wholehearted praise! In thankful song my voice I raise within the righteous congregation. Great are the doings of the Lord, and all to whom they joy afford will study them with dedication. 2. In majesty and glory stand the works of his almighty hand. His righteousness endures forever. He caused his wondrous acts to be preserved in thought and memory; his love and mercy will not waver. 3. The Lord gives food with open hand to all who honour his command; he keeps his covenant obligations. His mighty deeds has he made known: he gave his people, as their own, the heritage of heathen nations. 4. The wondrous works his hands have done are just and faithful, every one; his precepts all will stand unshaken. They will endure eternally; secure and firm is all that he has in uprightness undertaken. 5. To Israel he redemption sent; eternal is God’s covenant. His holy name is all-surpassing. The fear of God is wisdom’s source, a light to all who walk its course. His glorious praise is everlasting!
