Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#71

71. Psalm 111

1. Praise the LORD; with exaltation,
My whole heart my LORD shall praise;
Midst the upright congregation
Loftiest hallelujahs raise.

2. All His works are great and glorious,
Saints review them with delight;
His redemption all-victorious
We remember day and night.

3. Meat he gives to those who fear him,
Of His cov'nant mindful still;
Wise they are who much revere him,
And rejoice to do his will.

4. For his grace stands fast forever,
His decrees the saints secure;
from his oath he turneth never,
every promise standeth sure.

5. Therefore be His praise unceasing,
Be his name forever blest;
And with confidence increasing,
Let us on his promise rest.
