Footnotes
- 1 Heb “sought out.”
- 2 For other uses of the Hebrew phrase וְהָדָר-הוֹד (hod-véhadar, “majesty and splendor”) see 1 Chr 16:27; Job 40:10; Pss 21:5; 96:6; 104:1.
- 3 Or “stands.”
- 4 Or “did,” if this refers primarily to the events of the exodus and conquest period (see vv. 6, 9).
- 5 Heb “a memorial he had made for his amazing deeds.”
- 6 Or “gave,” if the events of the exodus and conquest period (see v. 6, 9) are primarily in view.
- 7 Heb “those who fear him.”
- 8 Or “he remembers his covenant forever” (see Ps 105:8).
- 9 Heb “the strength of his deeds he proclaimed to his people, to give to them an inheritance of nations.”
- 10 Heb “the deeds of his hands [are].”
- 11 That is, fair and for man’s good.
- 12 Heb “done in faithfulness and uprightness.” The passive participle probably has the force of a gerund. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101–150 (), .
- 13 Heb “redemption he sent for his people.”
- 14 Heb “he commanded forever his covenant.”
- 15 Heb “the beginning of wisdom [is] the fear of the Lord.”
- 16 Heb “good sense [is] to all who do them.” The third masculine plural pronominal suffix must refer back to the “precepts” mentioned in v. 7. In the translation the referent has been specified for clarity. The phrase שֵׂכֶל טוֹב (shekhel tov) also occurs in Prov 3:4; 13:15 and 2 Chr 30:22.
- 17 Heb “his praise stands forever.”

Praise ye the Lord.
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great,
Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honourable and glorious:

That he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are verity and judgment;
All his commandments are sure.

Holy and reverend is his name.
