1Louez l’Eternel[1]! Je mettrai tout mon cœur ╵à louer l’Eternel dans l’assemblée, ╵dans le conseil des justes.[2] (Ps 9:1; Ps 112:1)2L’Eternel accomplit ╵des œuvres admirables, elles sont méditées ╵par tous ceux qui les aiment.3Ses actes manifestent ╵sa gloire et sa splendeur. Et sa justice ╵subsiste pour l’éternité[3]. (Ps 112:3)4Il fait qu’on se souvienne ╵de ses prodiges. L’Eternel est compatissant, ╵et il fait grâce[4]. (Ps 112:4)5Il a pourvu de quoi manger ╵pour ceux qui le craignaient[5]. Il se souvient toujours ╵de son alliance.6Il a manifesté ╵sa puissance à son peuple ╵en agissant pour lui quand il lui a donné ╵le pays d’autres peuples.7Tout ce qu’il fait témoigne ╵qu’il est fidèle et juste; tous ses commandements ╵sont dignes de confiance;8ils sont bien établis ╵pour toute éternité, et fondés sur la vérité ╵et la droiture[6].9Il a accordé la délivrance à son peuple, et il a conclu avec lui ╵une alliance éternelle. C’est un Dieu saint et redoutable.10La sagesse commence ╵par la crainte de l’Eternel[7]. Qui observe ses lois ╵a une saine intelligence. Sa louange subsiste ╵jusqu’en l’éternité. (Jb 28:28; Pr 1:7; Pr 9:10)
