Psalms 111

1 Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

2 The works of Jehovah are great, sought out by all those who have pleasure in it.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

3 His work is honor and majesty, and his righteousness endures forever.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

4 He has made his wonderful works to be remembered. Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and reverend is his name.

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom, and all who act accordingly have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
