I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

he remembers his covenant for ever.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

⁹He sent redemption to his people;

he has commanded his covenant for ever.

Holy and awesome is his name!

¹⁰The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

all those who practise it have a good understanding.

His praise endures for ever!
