Psalms 111

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

הללו-יה אודה יהוה בכל-לבב בסוד ישרים ועדה

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

גדלים מעשי יהוה דרושים לכל-חפציהם

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

הוד-והדר פעלו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

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

זכר עשה לנפלאותיו חנון ורחום יהוה

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

טרף נתן ליראיו יזכר לעולם בריתו

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

כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו-- לתת להם נחלת גוים

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

מעשי ידיו אמת ומשפט נאמנים כל-פקודיו

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

סמוכים לעד לעולם עשוים באמת וישר

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

פדות שלח לעמו-- צוה-לעולם בריתו קדוש ונורא שמו

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.

ראשית חכמה יראת יהוה-- שכל טוב לכל-עשיהם תהלתו עמדת לעד
