< 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.
Praise ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and the assembly.
2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.
3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.
Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.
5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.
6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.
The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;
8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.
Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.
9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.
Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, 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 beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.
