< 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.
Praise ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and the assembly.
2 The LORD's works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.
Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.
3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.
Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.
A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.
5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.
Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.
The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.
The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;
8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.
Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.
9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome.
Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, is his Name.
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.
The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.
