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.
Hallelúja! Ég þakka Guði máttarverk hans, já, í áheyrn og augsýn allrar þjóðarinnar.
2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
Allir sem vilja, íhugi þetta ásamt mér.
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.
Því að máttarverkin lýsa mikilleika hans, hátign og eilífum kærleika.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
Hver getur gleymt dásemdarverkum hans, miskunn hans?
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Hann annast þarfir þeirra sem honum treysta og gleymir ekki loforðum sínum.
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.
Hann sýndi mátt sinn er hann gaf þjóð sinni landið Ísrael – land sem margar þjóðir byggðu.
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.
Allt gerir hann af trúfesti og réttlæti og öll fyrirmæli hans eru áreiðanleg og góð,
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
gefin í kærleika og af réttvísi – þau munu standa að eilífu.
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!
Hann hefur frelsað þjóð sína og gert við hana eilífan sáttmála. Heilagt og óttalegt er nafn Drottins.
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!
Hvernig öðlast menn visku? Með því fyrst að óttast og heiðra Guð og síðan með því að halda lög hans. Lofað sé nafn hans að eilífu.
