Psalms 111

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

alleluia reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae 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 saeculum saeculi

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 saeculum 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 adnuntiabit 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 saeculum saeculi facta in veritate et aequitate

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 aeternum 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 sapientiae timor Domini intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum laudatio eius manet in saeculum saeculi
