Psalm 111

(from Day 23 Morning Prayer)

Confitebor tibi

1. I WILL give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart : secretly among the faithful, 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 worthy to be praised and had in honour : and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4. The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marvellous works : that they ought to be had in remembrance.
5. He hath given meat unto them that fear him : he shall 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 judgement : all his commandments are true.
8. They stand fast for ever and ever : and are done in truth and equity.
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 thereafter; the praise of it endureth for ever.
