Psalms 111

1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

Alleluya. Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; in the counsel and congregacioun of iust men.

2 Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

The werkis of the Lord ben greete; souyt out in to alle hise willis.

3 His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

His werk is knoulechyng and grete doyng; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

The Lord merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, hath maad a mynde of hise merueilis;

5 He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

he hath youe meete to men dredynge hym. He schal be myndeful of his testament in to the world;

6 He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

he schal telle to his puple the vertu of hise werkis.

7 That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

That he yyue to hem the eritage of folkis; the werkis of hise hondis ben treuthe and doom.

8 All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

Alle hise comaundementis ben feithful, confermed in to the world of world; maad in treuthe and equite.

9 He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

The Lord sente redempcioun to hys puple; he comaundide his testament with outen ende. His name is hooli and dreedful;

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

the bigynnyng of wisdom is the drede of the Lord. Good vndirstondyng is to alle that doen it; his preising dwellith in to the world of world.
