< Psalms 111 >

1 Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.
Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3 [Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.
Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
6 By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.
He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.
The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.
9 He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!
He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.
10 Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!
