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.
Lobet Jah! / Auf! Jahwe will ich preisen mit ganzem Herzen / Beisammen mit Redlichen und der Gemeinde.
2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
Groß sind die Werke Jahwes, / Durchforschenswert für alle, die daran Gefallen finden.
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.
Hoheit und Glanz offenbart sein Tun. / Währt seine Gerechtigkeit nicht ewig?
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
Seiner Wunder Gedächtnis hat er gestiftet. / Gnädig und voll Erbarmen ist Jahwe.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Treu hat er Speise den Seinen gegeben; / Ja, immer gedachte er seines Bunds.
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.
Kraftvolle Werke tat er seinem Volke kund, / Ließ sie besitzen der Heiden Erbe.
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.
Machttaten seiner Hände sind Treue und Recht, / Nimmer täuschen all seine Befehle.
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
Sie bleiben fest für immer und ewig, / Auf Treue und Geradheit sind sie gegründet.
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!
Freiheit sandte er seinem Volk; / Zu seinem Bund rief er es für immer. / Kann sein Name wohl anders als heilig sein und ehrfurchtgebietend?
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!
Rechter Weisheit Anfang ist Furcht vor Jahwe. / Sie, die sie üben, zeigen treffliche Einsicht, / Tragen dauerndes Lob davon.
