Psalm 111 is the Psalm we are reading today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! It is SO good!
Psalm 111
1 Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) I will praise and give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart in the council of the upright and in the congregation. 2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out by all those who have delight in them. 3 His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious, merciful, and full of loving compassion. 5 He has given food and provision to those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever and imprint it [on His mind]. 6 He has declared and shown to His people the power of His works in giving them the heritage of the nations [of Canaan]. 7 The works of His hands are [absolute] truth and justice [faithful and right]; and all His decrees and precepts are sure (fixed, established, and trustworthy). 8 They stand fast and are established forever and ever and are done in [absolute] truth and uprightness. 9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant to be forever; holy is His name, inspiring awe, reverence, and godly fear. 10 The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and skill [the preceding and the first essential, the prerequisite and the alphabet]; a good understanding, wisdom, and meaning have all those who do [the will of the Lord]. Their praise of Him endures forever.
Our God IS GOD! The ONE and ONLY! And we should remind ourselves continually of that TRUTH! Going through the Psalms will help you stay aware of His presence and of all that HE has done for YOU! AMEN! And then you can check it out in other translations and see everything from a new and different angle and in a new light! Here is The Passion Translation!
Celebrate God’s Greatness
1 Shout hallelujah to
Yahweh! May every one of his lovers hear my passionate praise
to him even among the council of the holy ones. 2 For God’s mighty miracles astound me! His wonders are so delightfully mysterious that they leave all who seek them astonished. 3 Everything he does is full of splendor and beauty. Each miracle demonstrates his eternal perfection. 4 His unforgettable works of surpassing wonder reveal his grace and tender mercy. 5 He satisfies all who love and trust him, and he keeps every promise he makes. 6 He reveals mighty power and marvels to his people by handing them nations as a gift. 7 All God accomplishes is flawless, faithful, and fair, and his every word proves trustworthy and true. 8 They are steadfast forever and ever, formed from truth and righteousness. 9 His forever-love paid a full ransom for his people so that now we’re free to come before Jehovah to worship his holy and awesome name! 10 Where can wisdom be found? It is born in the fear of God. Everyone who follows his ways will never lack his living-understanding. And the adoration of God will abide throughout
eternity!
