Psalms 111

1 Alleluia. I will confess to you, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the just and in the congregation.

Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust.

2 Great are the works of the Lord, exquisite in all his intentions.

The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.

3 Confession and magnificence are his work. And his justice remains from age to age.

His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

4 He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord.

He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age.

He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.

6 He will announce the virtue of his works to his people,

He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.

7 so that he may give them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are truth and judgment.

The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.

8 All his commands are faithful: confirmed from age to age, created in truth and fairness.

They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.

9 He has sent redemption upon his people. He has commanded his covenant for all eternity. Holy and terrible is his name.

He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age.

The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.
