Notes

Psalms 111:1–5

The godly praise God and delight themselves in his great works. His mighty acts reflect his righteousness, grace, and compassion (see Psalm 116:5–7). All who submit themselves to him experience his glory.

Psalms 111:1–10

This wisdom psalm contains many references to the works of the Lord that reveal his character. God is:

  • righteous,

  • gracious,

  • compassionate,

  • faithful,

  • just,

  • trustworthy,

  • upright,

  • holy, and

  • awe-inspiring (Psalm 111:3, 4, 7, 8, 9).

God's character gives hope in the covenant relationship (Psalm 111:5). God rescued Israel from Egypt (Psalm 111:9). God gave them the land (111:6). God provides for his people (111:5). However, God expects those in this relationship to also be righteous and have integrity.

Psalms 111:1–117:2

The word Hallelujah! is repeated throughout this group of psalms.
