1 a Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
studied by all who delight in them.
and his righteousness endures forever.
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
he remembers his covenant forever.
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
all his precepts are trustworthy;
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
he has commanded his covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is his name!
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!
