3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Psalms 111:3-10 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.
