Psalms 111
1 Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust.
Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.
2 The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.
The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
3 His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.
[Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.
4 He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.
He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
5 He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.
He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
6 He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.
By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.
7 The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.
He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.
8 They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.
What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
9 He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.
He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!
10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.
Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!
