Psalms 111

1 Praise ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and the assembly.

Alleluia. I will confess to you, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the just and in the congregation.

2 Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.

Great are the works of the Lord, exquisite in all his intentions.

3 Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

Confession and magnificence are his work. And his justice remains from age to age.

4 A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.

He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord.

5 Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.

He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age.

6 The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.

He will announce the virtue of his works to his people,

7 The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;

so that he may give them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are truth and judgment.

8 Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.

All his commands are faithful: confirmed from age to age, created in truth and fairness.

9 Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, is his Name.

He has sent redemption upon his people. He has commanded his covenant for all eternity. Holy and terrible is his name.

10 The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age.
