< Psalms 111 >
1 א Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai with my whole heart, בּ in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 גּ Adonai’s works are great, דּ pondered by all those who delight in them.
3 ה His work is honor and majesty. ו His righteousness endures forever.
4 ז He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. ח Adonai is gracious and merciful.
5 ט He has given food to those who fear him. י He always remembers his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
6 כּ He has shown his people the power of his works, ל in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 מ The works of his hands are truth and mishpat ·justice·. נ All his precepts are sure.
8 ס They are established forever and ever. ע They are done in truth and uprightness.
9 פּ He has sent redemption to his people. צ He has enjoined his covenant forever. ק His name is holy and awesome!
10 ר The fear of Adonai is the beginning of wisdom. שׂ All those who do his work have a good understanding. תּ His tehilah ·praise song· endures forever!
