< 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 Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.
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 by all desiring them.
3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.
Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.
4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.
5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.
6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.
The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.
8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.
They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.
Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [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] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!
