2 Great are the works of the LORD ;
they are pondered by all who delight in them. |

and his righteousness endures forever. |
4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the LORD is gracious and compassionate. |
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever. |
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations. |
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy. |
8 They are steadfast for ever and ever,
done in faithfulness and uprightness. |
9 He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever-
holy and awesome is his name. |
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise. |
