Psalms 111

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

Praise you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

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

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

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

His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

He has made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He has given meat to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

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

He has showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

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

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

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

He sent redemption to his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend 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 have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
