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 the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

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

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

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

His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever 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 showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

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

The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

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

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

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 to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, 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 the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
