< 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.
Alleluja. [Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.
2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus.
5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui.
6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,
7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.
ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.
8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.
Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.
9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.
Redemptionem misit populo suo; mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus.
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.
Initium sapientiæ timor Domini; intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.]
