Scripture lesson: Psalm 111:1-10 Praise the Lord!

Time to reflect: There is a lot packed into this short Psalm.

Moving through the day: Try reading this Psalm as a prayer, stopping after each phrase and personalizing it.



Scripture:

Praise the LORD.
       I will extol the LORD with all my heart
       in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

  Great are the works of the LORD;
       they are pondered by all who delight in them.

 Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
       and his righteousness endures forever.

 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
       the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

He provides food for those who fear him;
       he remembers his covenant forever.

He has shown his people the power of his works,
       giving them the lands of other nations.

The works of his hands are faithful and just;
       all his precepts are trustworthy.

They are steadfast for ever and ever,
       done in faithfulness and uprightness.

He provided redemption for his people;
       he ordained his covenant forever—
       holy and awesome is his name.

  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
       all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
       To him belongs eternal praise.
