< 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.
Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.
2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus.
5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui.
6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.
ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.
8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.
Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.
9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.
Redemptionem misit populo suo; mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!
Initium sapientiæ timor Domini; intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
