Psalm 111

Abraham Coles

2 Great the works Jehovah wrought,
To be diligently sought,
3 Memorable, matchless, grand —
Aye His righteousness shall stand:

4 Kind, compassionate, and dear,
5 Food He gives to them who fear:
Of His covenant He will be
Mindful to eternity.

6 To His people He made known
His great power, in Canaan shown;
'Gainst the nations war did wage;
Made the Land their heritage.

7 All His works are just and pure;
And His precepts all are sure;
8 Stablished are for aye each one,
Truly spoke and rightly done.

9 Their redemption He obtained;
He His covenant ordained;
True to His eternal pact —
Gracious promise turned to fact.

All His mighty works proclaim
Fearful is His Holy Name:
10 Whosoever wisdom wins
With Jehovah's fear begins.

He is wise who understands,
Keeps His precepts and commands;
Whose great goodness ceases never,
And His praise endures forever.
