111 Halleluyah!

I will wholeheartedly give thanks to Adonai
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
² The deeds of Adonai are great,
greatly desired by all who enjoy them.
³ His work is full of majesty and splendor,
and his righteousness continues forever.
⁴ He has gained renown for his wonders.
Adonai is merciful and compassionate.
⁵ He gives food to those who fear him.
He remembers his covenant forever.
⁶ He shows his people how powerfully he works
by giving them the nations as their heritage.
⁷ The works of his hands are truth and justice;
all his precepts can be trusted.
⁸ They have been established forever and ever,
to be carried out truly and honestly.
⁹ He sent redemption to his people
and decreed that his covenant should last forever.
His name is holy and fearsome —
¹⁰ the first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai;
all those living by it gain good common sense.
His praise stands forever.
