< 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.
Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart in the congregation of the faithful.
2 Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.
All the wonderful things the Lord has done are studied by everyone who loves them.
3 Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
His majesty and honor are revealed by what he does; his goodness lasts forever.
4 A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.
He wants the wonderful things he has done to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and kind.
5 Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.
He feeds those who respect him; he always remembers the agreement he made.
6 The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.
He demonstrated to his people the powerful things he could do by giving them the lands of other nations.
7 The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;
Everything he does can be depended on, and is right; all his commandments are trustworthy.
8 Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.
They remain rock-solid forever. He was true and right in saying what should be done.
9 Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, is his Name.
He delivered his people. He commanded that his agreement would continue forever. How holy and awesome is his reputation!
10 The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.
The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!
