< Psalms 111 >
1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.
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 Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.
The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.
3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.
His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.
4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.
6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.
He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:
The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.
8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.
They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.
9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: 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 Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.
