< 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 ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.
The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
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 will ever be 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 shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are 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 redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend 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 have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
