1Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the company of decent people and in the congregation.

3His work is glorious and majestic. His righteousness continues forever.

4He has made his miracles unforgettable. The LORD is merciful and compassionate.

5He provides food for those who fear him. He always remembers his promise.

6He has revealed the power of his works to his people by giving them the lands of other nations as an inheritance.

7His works are done with truth and justice. All his guiding principles are trustworthy.

8They last forever and ever. They are carried out with truth and decency.

9He has sent salvation to his people. He has ordered that his promise should continue forever. His name is holy and terrifying.

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Good sense is shown by everyone who follows [God's guiding principles]. His praise continues forever.
