Psalms 111

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

Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

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

The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

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

His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made his wonderful works 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 food unto them that fear him: He will ever be 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 showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

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

They are established for ever and ever; They are 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 hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend 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 commandments]: His praise endureth for ever.
