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.

Louez l’Éternel! Je louerai l’Éternel de tout mon cœur, Dans la réunion des hommes droits et dans l’assemblée.

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

Les œuvres de l’Éternel sont grandes, Recherchées par tous ceux qui les aiment.

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

Son œuvre n’est que splendeur et magnificence, Et sa justice subsiste à jamais.

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

Il a laissé la mémoire de ses prodiges, L’Éternel miséricordieux et compatissant.

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

Il a donné de la nourriture à ceux qui le craignent; Il se souvient toujours de son alliance.

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

Il a manifesté à son peuple la puissance de ses œuvres, En lui livrant l’héritage des nations.

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

Les œuvres de ses mains sont fidélité et justice; Toutes ses ordonnances sont véritables,

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

Affermies pour l’éternité, Faites avec fidélité et droiture.

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

Il a envoyé la délivrance à son peuple, Il a établi pour toujours son alliance; Son nom est saint et redoutable.

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.

La crainte de l’Éternel est le commencement de la sagesse; Tous ceux qui l’observent ont une raison saine. Sa gloire subsiste à jamais.
