Psalms 111:1-7

1 Praise the Lord. I will praise the LORD with all my heart. I will praise him where honest people gather for worship.

2 The LORD has done great things. All who take delight in what he has done will spend time thinking about it.

3 What he does shows his glory and majesty. He will always do what is right.

4 The LORD causes his miracles to be remembered. He is kind and tender.

5 He provides food for those who have respect for him. He remembers his covenant forever.

6 He has shown his people what his power can do. He has given them the lands of other nations.

7 He is faithful and right in everything he does. All his rules can be trusted.

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.
