Psalm 111-114

New King James Version

^(A)I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

^2 (B)The works of the Lord are great,
^(C)Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
³ His work is ^(D)honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
⁴ He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
^(E)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
⁵ He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
⁶ He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the ^[b]heritage of the nations.

⁷ The works of His hands are ^(F)verity^[c] and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
^8 (G)They stand fast forever and ever,
And are ^(H)done in truth and uprightness.
^9 (I)He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
^(J)Holy and awesome is His name.

^10 (K)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who ^(L)delights greatly in His commandments.

^2 (M)His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
^3 (N)Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness ^[e]endures forever.
^4 (O)Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
^5 (P)A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs ^(Q)with discretion.
⁶ Surely he will never be shaken;
^(R)The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
^7 (S)He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
⁸ His ^(T)heart is established;
^(U)He will not be afraid,
Until he ^(V)sees his desire upon his enemies.

⁹ He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His ^[f]horn will be exalted with honor.
¹⁰ The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.

^(W)Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
^2 (X)Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore!
^3 (Y)From the rising of the sun to its going down
The Lord’s name is to be praised.

⁴ The Lord is ^(Z)high above all nations,
^(AA)His glory above the heavens.
^5 (AB)Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high,
^6 (AC)Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

^7 (AD)He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the ^(AE)needy out of the ash heap,
⁸ That He may ^(AF)seat him with princes—
With the princes of His people.
^9 (AG)He grants the ^[h]barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.

Praise the Lord!

^3 (AL)The sea saw it and fled;
^(AM)Jordan turned back.
^4 (AN)The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
^5 (AO)What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
⁶ O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O little hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
^8 (AP)Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
