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 thank the Lord with all [my] heart, in the council of the upright, 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, they are sought for [by them] in all their desires.

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

Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made a memorial for his wonderful works: gracious and merciful is the Lord.

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

He hath given sustenance unto those that fear him: he will for 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.

The power of his works hath he told unto his people, that he might give them the heritage of nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and justice: faultless are all his precepts.

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

They are well supported for ever and eternally: they are framed 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.

Redemption hath he sent unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and to be feared 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 beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; a good understanding have all that fulfill [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
