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.

הללו-יה אודה יהוה בכל-לבב בסוד ישרים ועדה

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

גדלים מעשי יהוה דרושים לכל-חפציהם

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

הוד-והדר פעלו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

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

זכר עשה לנפלאותיו חנון ורחום יהוה

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

טרף נתן ליראיו יזכר לעולם בריתו

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

כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו-- לתת להם נחלת גוים

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

מעשי ידיו אמת ומשפט נאמנים כל-פקודיו

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

סמוכים לעד לעולם עשוים באמת וישר

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

פדות שלח לעמו-- צוה-לעולם בריתו קדוש ונורא שמו

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.

ראשית חכמה יראת יהוה-- שכל טוב לכל-עשיהם תהלתו עמדת לעד
