Psalms 111

1 Alleluia. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out according to all his will.

Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

3 His work is [worthy of] thanksgiving and honor: and his righteousness endures for ever and ever.

Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

5 He has given food to them that fear him: he will remember his covenant for ever.

Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

6 He has declared to his people the power of his works, to give them the inheritance of the heathen.

The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment: all his commandments are sure:

The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

8 established for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

9 He sent redemption to his people: he commanded his covenant for ever: holy and fearful is his name.

Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and all that act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever and ever.

The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!
