The text of the psalm

הַלְלוּ יָהּ אוֹדֶה יְהוָה בְּכָל־לֵבָב בְּסוֹד יְשָׁרִים וְעֵדָֽה׃

Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, . In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

גְּדֹלִים מַעֲשֵׂי יְהוָה דְּרוּשִׁים לְכָל־חֶפְצֵיהֶֽם׃

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out of all them that have delight therein.

הוֹד־וְהָדָר פָּעֳלוֹ וְצִדְקָתוֹ עֹמֶדֶת לָעַֽד׃

His work is glory and majesty; And His righteousness endureth for ever.

זֵכֶר עָשָׂה לְנִפְלְאֹתָיו חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם יְהוָֽה׃

He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

טֶרֶף נָתַן לִירֵאָיו יִזְכֹּר לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתֽוֹ׃

He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

כֹּחַ מַעֲשָׂיו הִגִּיד לְעַמּוֹ לָתֵת לָהֶם נַחֲלַת גּוֹיִֽם׃

He hath declared to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

מַעֲשֵׂי יָדָיו אֱמֶת וּמִשְׁפָּט נֶאֱמָנִים כָּל־פִּקּוּדָֽיו׃

The works of His hands are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure.

סְמוּכִים לָעַד לְעוֹלָם עֲשׂוּיִם בֶּאֱמֶת וְיָשָֽׁר׃

They are established for ever and ever, They are done in truth and uprightness.

פְּדוּת שָׁלַח לְעַמּוֹ צִוָּה־לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ קָדוֹשׁ וְנוֹרָא שְׁמֽוֹ׃

He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

רֵאשִׁית חָכְמָה יִרְאַת יְהוָה שֵׂכֶל טוֹב לְכָל־עֹשֵׂיהֶם תְּהִלָּתוֹ עֹמֶדֶת לָעַֽד׃

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.
