Psalms 111

1 Alleluia. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

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

2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out according to all his will.

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

3 His work is [worthy of] thanksgiving and honour: and his righteousness endures for ever and ever.

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

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

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

5 He has given food to them that fear him: he will remember his covenant for ever.

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

6 He has declared to his people the power of his works, to give them the inheritance of the heathen.

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 judgment: all his commandments are sure:

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

8 established for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

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

9 He sent redemption to his people: he commanded his covenant for ever: holy and fearful 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, and all that act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever and ever.

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