Great are the works the LoRD:* they arc pondered by all who delight in them.

Glorious and majestic are his deeds.* and his righteousness endures forever.

He has caused his wonders to be remembered:* the LoRD is gracious and compassionate.

Refrain The works of his hands arc faithful and just:* all his precepts are trustworthy.

He provided redemption for his people:* he ordained his covenant forever.

The fear of the LoRD is the beginning of v.·isdom:* all who follow his precepts have good understanding.

Glory be to the Father and fu the Son• and to the Holy Spirit., as it was in the beginning,• is now, and l\ill be forenr. Amen.
