Jehovah Praised for His Goodness


[1]	PRAISE 1 ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
[2]	The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
[3]	His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.
[4]	He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
[5]	He hath given food 2 unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
[6]	He hath showed 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 for ever and ever; They are done 3 in truth and uprightness.
[9]	He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.
[10]	The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A 4 good understanding have all they that do his 5 commandments: His praise endureth for ever.
