Psalms 111:1-7

1 Hallelujah! I give thanks to God with everything I've got - Wherever good people gather, and in the congregation.

2 God's works are so great, worth A lifetime of study - endless enjoyment!

3 Splendor and beauty mark his craft; His generosity never gives out.

4 His miracles are his memorial - This God of Grace, this God of Love.

5 He gave food to those who fear him, He remembered to keep his ancient promise.

6 He proved to his people that he could do what he said: Hand them the nations on a platter - a gift!

7 He manufactures truth and justice; All his products are guaranteed to last -

Psalms 111:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 111

This psalm, though without a name, is thought to be penned by David; it is composed in an artificial manner, in an alphabetical order, each clause or sentence beginning with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet in course, till the whole is finished; this perhaps was done to recommend the psalm, to make it more observed, and to help the memory; the general design of it is to excite to praise the Lord, from the consideration of his great and wonderful works.
