111 [a] Praise the Lord!
I thank the Lord with all my heart
    in the assembly of his good people.
The Lord does wonderful things,
    more than anyone could ask for.[b]
The things he does are great and glorious!
    There is no end to his goodness.
He does amazing things so that we will remember
    that the Lord is kind and merciful.
He gives food to his followers.
    He remembers his agreement forever.
He has shown his people how powerful he is
    by giving them the land of other nations.
Everything he does is good and fair.
    All his commands can be trusted.
His commands will continue forever.
    They must be done with truth and honesty.
He rescued his people and made his agreement with them forever.
    His name is awesome and holy.
10 Wisdom begins with fear and respect for the Lord.
    Those who obey him are very wise.
    Praises will be sung to him forever.

112 [c] Praise the Lord!
Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the Lord,
    who are happy to do what he commands.
Their descendants will be given power on earth.
    Those who do right will be greatly blessed.
Their family will be very rich,
    and their goodness will continue forever.
A light shines in the dark for those who are good,
    for those who are merciful, kind, and fair.
It is good for people to be kind and generous
    and to be fair in business.
Such good people will never fall.
    They will always be remembered.
They will not be afraid of bad news.
    They are confident because they trust in the Lord.
They remain confident and without fear,
    so they defeat their enemies.
They freely give to the poor.
    Their goodness will continue forever.
    They will be honored with victory.
10 The wicked become angry when they see this.
    They grind their teeth in anger, but then they disappear.
    They will never get what they want most.
