Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

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

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
