Abstract
Psalm 111 links the works of God in creation with his works in history and salvation. Verse 2 ('Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all those who delight in them') is often taken as a mandate and challenge for scientific research. This is legitimate, but it should not be divorced from other emphases in the psalm, particularly God's providential upholding throughout time. The psalmist also reminds us that 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom'. A research scientist is one who should properly humble him or herself before their data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
