Psalms 111

1 Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart in the congregation of the faithful.

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 All the wonderful things the Lord has done are studied by everyone who loves them.

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

3 His majesty and honor are revealed by what he does; his goodness lasts forever.

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

4 He wants the wonderful things he has done to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and kind.

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

5 He feeds those who respect him; he always remembers the agreement he made.

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 demonstrated to his people the powerful things he could do by giving them the lands of other nations.

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

7 Everything he does can be depended on, and is right; all his commandments are trustworthy.

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

8 They remain rock-solid forever. He was true and right in saying what should be done.

ס They are established forever and ever. ע They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He delivered his people. He commanded that his agreement would continue forever. How holy and awesome is his reputation!

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

10 The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!

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!
