< Psalms 111 >
1 Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.
Louvae ao Senhor. Louvarei ao Senhor de todo o meu coração, na assembléa dos justos e na congregação.
2 The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.
Grandes são as obras do Senhor, procuradas por todos os que n'elles tomam prazer.
3 His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.
A sua obra tem gloria e magestade, e a sua justiça permanece para sempre.
4 Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.
Fez com que as suas maravilhas fossem lembradas: piedoso e misericordioso é o Senhor.
5 He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.
Deu mantimento aos que o temem; lembrar-se-ha sempre do seu concerto.
6 He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.
Annunciou ao seu povo o poder das suas obras, para lhe dar a herança das nações.
7 The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.
As obras das suas mãos são verdade e juizo, seguros todos os seus mandamentos.
8 They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.
Permanecem firmes para sempre, e sempre; e são feitos em verdade e rectidão.
9 He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.
Redempção enviou ao seu povo; ordenou o seu concerto para sempre; sancto e tremendo é o seu nome.
10 The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.
O temor do Senhor é o principio da sabedoria: bom entendimento teem todos os que cumprem os seus mandamentos: o seu louvor permanece para sempre.
