Majestic Is His Work
1Hallelujah!footnote aI will give thanks to the LORD with all my heartin the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2Great are the works of the LORD;they are pondered by all who delight in them. 3Splendid and majestic is His work;His righteousness endures forever. 4He has caused His wonders to be remembered;the LORD is gracious and compassionate. 5He provides food for those who fear Him;He remembers His covenant forever.
6He has shown His people the power of His worksby giving them the inheritance of the nations. 7The works of His hands are truth and justice;all His precepts are trustworthy. 8They are upheld forever and ever,enacted in truth and uprightness. 9He has sent redemption to His people;He has ordained His covenant forever;holy and awesome is His name.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding.His praise endures forever!
