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.
