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.

הללו-יה אודה יהוה בכל-לבב בסוד ישרים ועדה

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

גדלים מעשי יהוה דרושים לכל-חפציהם

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

הוד-והדר פעלו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

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

זכר עשה לנפלאותיו חנון ורחום יהוה

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

טרף נתן ליראיו יזכר לעולם בריתו

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

כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו-- לתת להם נחלת גוים

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

מעשי ידיו אמת ומשפט נאמנים כל-פקודיו

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

סמוכים לעד לעולם עשוים באמת וישר

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

פדות שלח לעמו-- צוה-לעולם בריתו קדוש ונורא שמו

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

ראשית חכמה יראת יהוה-- שכל טוב לכל-עשיהם תהלתו עמדת לעד
