Main thought: We praise God for His works. Notice throughout this psalm the word “work” which encompasses all of God's activity, from creation to incarnation to redemption.
Psalm 11:1–5
Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
Prayer
Praise belongs to You, our God, because You have fulfilled Your promises to Your people Israel in the incarnation of Your Son, and sent the light of Your truth to our fathers when they were walking in ignorance of You. Grant us steadfastly to trust Your covenant of grace that we may life therein. Make Your works of mercy and truth known to our children, that they may praise Your name in generations to come. Amen.
