Psalms 111:8
6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.
They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has 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 gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!
