Psalms 111

1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] I thank YHWH with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the congregation.

Praise ye YHWH. I will praise YHWH with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

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

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

3 Splendid and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing forever.

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

4 He has made a memorial of His wonders, YHWH [is] gracious and merciful.

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

5 He has given prey to those fearing Him, He remembers His covenant for all time.

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

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

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

7 The works of His hands [are] true and just, All His appointments [are] steadfast.

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

8 They are sustained forever and for all time. They are made in truth and uprightness.

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

9 He has sent redemption to His people, He has appointed His covenant for all time, His Name [is] holy and fearful.

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

10 The fear of YHWH [is] the beginning of wisdom, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing forever!

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