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.

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

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

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

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

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

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

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

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

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

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

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

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

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

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

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: 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 Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
