< 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.
