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.
Halleluja! Segen. Ich danke dem HERRN von ganzem Herzen im Rat der Frommen und in der Gemeine.
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 des HERRN; wer ihrer achtet, der hat eitel Lust daran.
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.
Was er ordnet, das ist löblich und herrlich, und seine Gerechtigkeit bleibet ewiglich.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
Er hat ein Gedächtnis gestiftet seiner Wunder, der gnädige und barmherzige HERR.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Er gibt Speise denen, so ihn fürchten; er gedenket ewiglich an seinen Bund.
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.
Er läßt verkündigen seine gewaltigen Taten seinem Volk, daß er ihnen gebe das Erbe der Heiden.
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.
Die Werke seiner Hände sind Wahrheit und Recht; alle seine Gebote sind rechtschaffen.
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
Sie werden erhalten immer und ewiglich und geschehen treulich und redlich.
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!
Er sendet eine Erlösung seinem Volk; er verheißet, daß sein Bund ewiglich bleiben soll. Heilig und hehr ist sein 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!
Die Furcht des HERRN ist der Weisheit Anfang; das ist eine feine Klugheit; wer danach tut, des Lob bleibet ewiglich.
