Psalms 111

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

Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all [my] heart, in the council of the upright, 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, they are sought for [by them] in all their desires.

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

Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made a memorial for his wonderful works: gracious and merciful is the Lord.

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

He hath given sustenance unto those that fear him: he will for 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.

The power of his works hath he told unto his people, that he might give them the heritage of nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and justice: faultless are all his precepts.

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

They are well supported for ever and eternally: they are framed in truth and uprightness.

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

Redemption hath he sent unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and to be feared 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 wisdom is the fear of the Lord; a good understanding have all that fulfill [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
