1Alleluia. I will confess to you, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the just and in the congregation. 2Great are the works of the Lord, exquisite in all his intentions. 3Confession and magnificence are his work. And his justice remains from age to age. 4He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord. 5He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age. 6He will announce the virtue of his works to his people, 7so that he may give them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are truth and judgment. 8All his commands are faithful: confirmed from age to age, created in truth and fairness. 9He has sent redemption upon his people. He has commanded his covenant for all eternity. Holy and terrible is his name. 10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age.
