Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

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

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

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

3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

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

6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

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

8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

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

9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful 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 have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for 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.
