Psalms 111

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

א Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai with my whole heart, בּ 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.

גּ Adonai’s works are great, דּ pondered by all those who delight in them.

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

ה His work is honor and majesty. ו His righteousness endures forever.

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

ז He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. ח Adonai is gracious and merciful.

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

ט He has given food to those who fear him. י He always remembers his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.

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

כּ He has shown his people the power of his works, ל in giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

מ The works of his hands are truth and mishpat ·justice·. נ All his precepts are sure.

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

ס They are established forever and ever. ע They 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.

פּ He has sent redemption to his people. צ He has enjoined his covenant forever. ק His name is holy and awesome!

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.

ר The fear of Adonai is the beginning of wisdom. שׂ All those who do his work have a good understanding. תּ His tehilah ·praise song· endures forever!
