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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He hath given sustenance unto those that fear him: he will for 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.

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

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

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

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

They are well supported for ever and eternally: they are framed 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.

Redemption hath he sent unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and to be feared 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 beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; a good understanding have all that fulfill [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
