Psalm 111
1. The psalmist by his example incites others to praise God for his glorious
5. And gracious works
10. The fear of God breeds true wisdom














He has caused His wonders to be remembered;
This phrase highlights God's intentionality in ensuring that His miraculous deeds are not forgotten. Throughout the Bible, God commands His people to remember His works, such as the Passover in Exodus 12, which commemorates the deliverance from Egypt. The act of remembering is crucial in maintaining faith and obedience. In Deuteronomy 6:12, the Israelites are warned not to forget the LORD who brought them out of slavery. The wonders of God, such as creation, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision in the wilderness, serve as a testament to His power and faithfulness. These acts are often memorialized through festivals, altars, and oral traditions, ensuring that each generation acknowledges God's sovereignty and benevolence.

the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
This phrase emphasizes two of God's key attributes: grace and compassion. The Hebrew words for "gracious" (חַנּוּן, channun) and "compassionate" (רַחוּם, rachum) are often used to describe God's character, as seen in Exodus 34:6, where God reveals Himself to Moses. These attributes are central to the covenant relationship between God and His people, demonstrating His willingness to forgive and His deep love for humanity. In the New Testament, these qualities are embodied in Jesus Christ, who is described as full of grace and truth (John 1:14). The compassion of the LORD is evident in His dealings with Israel, His provision for the needy, and His ultimate plan of salvation through Christ. This phrase reassures believers of God's enduring mercy and kindness, encouraging them to trust in His unfailing love.

Persons / Places / Events
1. The LORD (Yahweh)
The central figure in this verse, Yahweh is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people.

2. Wonders (Hebrew: ??????????, niphla'ot)
Refers to the miraculous acts and mighty deeds of God, which are designed to inspire awe and remembrance among His people.

3. Remembrance
The act of recalling God's mighty works, which serves to strengthen faith and encourage worship among believers.
Teaching Points
The Importance of Remembrance
Remembering God's wonders is crucial for maintaining a vibrant faith. It helps believers to stay grounded in the reality of God's power and presence in their lives.

God's Gracious Nature
God's grace is unmerited favor. Understanding this attribute encourages believers to rely on His mercy rather than their own efforts.

Compassion as a Model
As God is compassionate, believers are called to emulate this trait in their interactions with others, showing kindness and understanding.

Worship Through Reflection
Reflecting on God's wonders should lead to worship. Believers are encouraged to regularly recount God's deeds as a form of praise and adoration.

Faith in Action
Recognizing God's past faithfulness should inspire believers to trust Him in present and future challenges, knowing He is both willing and able to act on their behalf.(4) He hath made . . .--Literally, He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works, as in Joshua 4:7, &c.

Verse 4. - He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered; literally, a memorial hath he made for his wonders; i.e. he has so done them that they cannot cease to be had in remembrance. Memorial institutions, like the Passover, are scarcely glanced at. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion; or, "compassionate" (comp. Psalm 103:13).
