'Works' in the Bible

As he approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen:

At that time they made an idol in the form of a calf, brought a sacrifice to the idol, and began rejoicing in the works of their hands.

So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

even before they were born or had done anything good or bad (so that God's purpose in election would stand, not by works but by his calling) --
