• Psalm 111:1-10

1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 

2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 

3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. 

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 

7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
