Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

2 Great `are' the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful `is' Jehovah.

5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

6 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

7 The works of His hands `are' true and just, Stedfast `are' all His appointments.

8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful `is' His name.

10 The beginning of wisdom `is' fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise `is' standing for ever!
