1Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.
2Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.
3Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.
4A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.
5Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.
6The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.
7The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.
8They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.
9Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.
10The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!
