Psalms 111

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

Halleluja! Eg vil prisa Herren av alt mitt hjarta i råd og samling av ærlege.

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

Store er Herrens verk, gjenomtenkte etter alle sine fyremål.

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

Høgd og herlegdom er hans gjerning, og hans rettferd stend æveleg fast.

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

Han hev sett eit minne for sine under, nådig og miskunnsam er Herren.

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

Mat hev han gjeve deim som ottast honom; han kjem æveleg i hug si pakt.

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

Krafti av sine verk hev han kunngjort for sitt folk, då han gav deim arven til heidningarne.

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

Det hans hender gjer, er sanning og rett, alle hans fyresegner er trufaste,

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

fast stend dei æveleg og alltid, dei er gjorde i sanning og rettvisa.

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

Han hev sendt sitt folk utløysing, han hev skipa si pakt æveleg, hans namn er heilagt og skræmelegt.

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.

Otte for Herren er upphav til visdom, godt vit hev alle som gjer etter det. Hans pris varer æveleg.
