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.

Halleluja! Eg vil prisa Herren av alt mitt hjarta i råd og samling av ærlege.

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

Store er Herrens verk, gjenomtenkte etter alle sine fyremål.

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

Høgd og herlegdom er hans gjerning, og hans rettferd stend æveleg fast.

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

Han hev sett eit minne for sine under, nådig og miskunnsam er Herren.

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

Mat hev han gjeve deim som ottast honom; han kjem æveleg i hug si pakt.

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

Krafti av sine verk hev han kunngjort for sitt folk, då han gav deim arven til heidningarne.

7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment: all his commandments are sure:

Det hans hender gjer, er sanning og rett, alle hans fyresegner er trufaste,

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

fast stend dei æveleg og alltid, dei er gjorde i sanning og rettvisa.

9 He sent redemption to his people: he commanded his covenant for ever: holy and fearful is his name.

Han hev sendt sitt folk utløysing, han hev skipa si pakt æveleg, hans namn er heilagt og skræmelegt.

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.

Otte for Herren er upphav til visdom, godt vit hev alle som gjer etter det. Hans pris varer æveleg.
