    they are treasured by all who desire them.
³ God’s deeds are majestic and glorious.
    God’s righteousness stands forever.
⁴ God is famous for his wondrous works.
    The Lord is full of mercy and compassion.
⁵ God gives food to those who honor him.
    God remembers his covenant forever.
⁶ God proclaimed his powerful deeds to his people
    and gave them what had belonged to other nations.
⁷ God’s handiwork is honesty and justice;
    all God’s rules are trustworthy—
⁸         they are established always and forever:
        they are fulfilled with truth and right doing.
⁹ God sent redemption for his people;
    God commanded that his covenant last forever.
        Holy and awesome is God’s name!
¹⁰ Fear of the Lord is where wisdom begins;
