1Praise the Lord!

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.*

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;

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;
