< 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.
Praise ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and 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 Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.
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.
Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.
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.
The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give 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 faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.
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!
Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, Holy and reverend, 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 beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.
