God's works are magnificent and studied by all who delight in them! He provides food, keeps His promises, and has sent redemption to His people. This psalm ends with a wonderful truth: the beginning of wisdom is to respect and honor God.

  1. 1Hallelujah! I will praise the LORD with all my heart in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
  2. 2Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
  3. 3Glorious and majestic are His deeds, and His righteousness endures forever.
  4. 4He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
  5. 5He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
  6. 6He has shown His people the power of His works, giving them the lands of other nations.
  7. 7The works of His hands are faithful and just; all His precepts are trustworthy.
  8. 8They are established forever and ever, enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
  9. 9He provided redemption for His people; He ordained His covenant forever— holy and awesome is His name.
  10. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts have good understanding. To Him belongs eternal praise.
