Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
