Psalms 111

1 Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Je vous louerai, Seigneur, en tout mon cœur; en conseil des justes et en assemblée.

2 The LORD's works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Grandes sont les œuvres du Seigneur; parfaitement conformes à toutes ses volontés.

3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

Louange et magnificence est son ouvrage, et sa justice demeure dans les siècles des siècles.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

Il a consacré la mémoire de ses merveilles, le Seigneur miséricordieux et compatissant;

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

Il a donné une nourriture à ceux qui le craignent. Il se souviendra à jamais de son alliance,

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Il annoncera la puissance de ses œuvres à son peuple,

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

Afin de leur donner l’héritage des nations: les œuvres de ses mains sont vérité et justice.

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

Tous ses commandements sont fidèles, confirmés dans les siècles des siècles, faits selon la vérité et l’équité.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome.

Il a envoyé la rédemption à son peuple: il a établi pour l’éternité son alliance. Saint et terrible est son nom;

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.

Le commencement de la sagesse est la crainte du Seigneur. La bonne intelligence est à tous ceux qui agissent conformément à cette crainte. Sa louange demeure dans les siècles des siècles.
