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.

I will praise thee, 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: sought out according to all his wills.

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

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

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

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

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

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever 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 will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

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

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

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

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

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

He hath sent redemption to 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 the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
