Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all [my] heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Alleluia. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: in consilio iustorum, et congregatione.

2 Great are the works of the Lord, they are sought for [by them] in all their desires.

Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates eius.

3 Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Confessio et magnificentia opus eius: et iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi.

4 He hath made a memorial for his wonderful works: gracious and merciful is the Lord.

Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus:

5 He hath given sustenance unto those that fear him: he will for ever be mindful of his covenant.

escam dedit timentibus se. Memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui:

6 The power of his works hath he told unto his people, that he might give them the heritage of nations.

virtutem operum suorum annunciabit populo suo:

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice: faultless are all his precepts.

Ut det illis hereditatem gentium: opera manuum eius veritas, et iudicium.

8 They are well supported for ever and eternally: they are framed in truth and uprightness.

Fidelia omnia mandata eius: confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.

9 Redemption hath he sent unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and to be feared is his name.

Redemptionem misit populo suo: mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum, et terribile nomen eius:

10 The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; a good understanding have all that fulfill [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

initium sapientiæ timor Domini. Intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio eius manet in sæculum sæculi.
