Chapter summary (Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, 1880)

1 The psalmist by his example incites others to praise God for his glorious, 5 and gracious works. 10 The fear of God breeds true wisdom.

111Praise ye Jehovah.

I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,

In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2The works of Jehovah are great,

Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3His work is honor and majesty;

And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:

Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5He hath given food unto them that fear him:

He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6He hath showed his people the power of his works,

In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7The works of his hands are truth and justice;

All his precepts are sure.

8They are established for ever and ever;

They are done in truth and uprightness.

9He hath sent redemption unto his people;

He hath commanded his covenant for ever:

Holy and reverend is his name.

10The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;

A good understanding have all they that do his commandments:

His praise endureth for ever.
