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.

alleluia reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo in consilio iustorum et congregatione

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

magna opera Domini exquisita in omnes voluntates eius

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

confessio et magnificentia opus eius et iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi

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

memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum misericors et miserator Dominus

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

escam dedit timentibus se memor erit in saeculum testamenti sui

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

virtutem operum suorum adnuntiabit populo suo

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

ut det illis hereditatem gentium opera manuum eius veritas et iudicium

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

fidelia omnia mandata eius confirmata in saeculum saeculi facta in veritate et aequitate

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

redemptionem misit populo suo mandavit in aeternum testamentum suum sanctum et terribile nomen eius

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.

initium sapientiae timor Domini intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum laudatio eius manet in saeculum saeculi
