Psalms 111

1 Praise Yah. I will praise Yhwh with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart in the congregation of the faithful.

2 The works of Yhwh are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

All the wonderful things the Lord has done are studied by everyone who loves them.

3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

His majesty and honor are revealed by what he does; his goodness lasts forever.

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Yhwh is gracious and full of compassion.

He wants the wonderful things he has done to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and kind.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He feeds those who respect him; he always remembers the agreement he made.

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

He demonstrated to his people the powerful things he could do by giving them the lands of other nations.

7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

Everything he does can be depended on, and is right; all his commandments are trustworthy.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

They remain rock-solid forever. He was true and right in saying what should be done.

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

He delivered his people. He commanded that his agreement would continue forever. How holy and awesome is his reputation!

10 The fear of Yhwh is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!
