Psalm 111 NKJV
Praise to God for His Faithfulness and Justice
111 Praise[a] the Lord!
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the [b]heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are verity[c] and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
8 They stand fast forever and ever,
And are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.

Psalm 111 Commentary
Great, glorious, majestic, lasting, righteous, compassionate, powerful, faithful, just, generous, upright, holy, and awesome. The psalmist has associated all these descriptive terms with the Creator God’s works, deeds, or wonders.
How does this list compare with the picture that the saint has of his or her God? We are invited to ponder these things.
When we seek greatness, glory, power, or awesomeness, we are basically repeating the devil’s song. Or when we fail to associate these qualities with the name of the LORD or His works, we subtract from who the LORD God is.
The psalmist ponders these things and praises the LORD.
Our spirituality is shaped by our understanding of these qualities. Back in school, we all could tell if the headmaster was in the school hall. The noise in the school hall told the difference. Saints who have come to appreciate the presence of God at all times know they don’t have a moment’s chance to misconduct themselves. It all begins with our understanding of who God is.
This psalm reminds us of the qualities of the LORD God that we must think about. It should affect our behavior.
