< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.
Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.
2 The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
3 His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus.
5 He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui.
6 He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,
7 The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;
ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.
8 They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.
Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.
9 He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.
Redemptionem misit populo suo; mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus.
10 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.
Initium sapientiæ timor Domini; intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
