Monday Morning Scripture (Wk41/2021) – Psalm 111 (AMP)


The Lord Praised for His Goodness.

1 Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart, in the company of the upright and in the congregation.

2 Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all those who delight in them.

3 Splendid and majestic is His work, and His righteousness endures forever.

4 He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion.

5 He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence]; He will remember His covenant forever.

6 He has declared and made known 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 [absolute] justice; All His precepts are sure (established, reliable, trustworthy).

8 They are upheld forever and ever; They are done in [absolute] truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name—[inspiring reverence and godly fear].

10 The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom; A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord;

His praise endures forever.
