my reworking of psalm 111

"Getting in real close with a psalm"

Psalm 111

Hallelujah

A heart, my heart in all its entirety gives thanks,
Both with the close company and far reaching family of the righteous.

Cosmic are the handiworks of the Lord,
Delighting those who would know them,
Even his magnanimous acts reveal his splendour and glory,
For his righteousness endures forever.

Graphically given for us to recall are his acts,
He, our Lord is full of grace and favour,
In the journey he provisions those who fear him.

Judicial thoughts constantly bring his covenant to mind,
Knowledge of his powerful works come from him,
Lands of promise, taken and given.

Making by hand true faithfulness and justice,
Nurturing, all his precepts are trustworthy,
On sure ground for all eternity.

Placed in the soil of true fidelity and uprightness,
Quintessential, he provided redemption for his own,
Released and raising his covenant for ever,
Showing how awesome and holy is his name.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Understanding comes to those who keep this.
Very praise of him is forever
