Psalm 111

Chapter notes

Psalm 111

Thank God

God is honest and fair

1Thank you, LORD. [1]
I thank the good LORD with all my heart,
Right here in front of all the God-loving people.
2The LORD does great work.
Many who benefit from it
Enjoy studying what he does.
3What he does is wonderful and marvelous.
He’s got goodness covered from here to forever.
4He’s famous for his jaw-dropping wonders.
But the LORD is also kind and compassionate.
5He feeds those who respect him.
And he’s never going to forget
His contract agreement [2] with his people.
6He showed his people his power
When he gave them land from other nations.

God’s law is always relevant

7The LORD is always honest and fair.
We can count on the laws he gave us.
8His laws will remain relevant forever.
So, we should observe them faithfully and honorably.
9He saved his people.
He made an everlasting contract agreement with them.
He is uniquely sacred and wonderfully awesome.
10Wisdom starts with respect [3] for the LORD.
It shows good sense to observe his laws.
He will always deserve our praise.
