Psalms 111

1 Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust.

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

2 The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.

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

3 His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

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

4 He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.

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

5 He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.

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

6 He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.

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

7 The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.

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

8 They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.

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

9 He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.

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

10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
