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.

主をほめたたえよ。わたしは正しい者のつどい、および公会で、心をつくして主に感謝する。

2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.

主のみわざは偉大である。すべてそのみわざを喜ぶ者によって尋ね窮められる。

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.

そのみわざは栄光と威厳とに満ち、その義はとこしえに、うせることがない。

4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.

主はそのくすしきみわざを記念させられた。主は恵みふかく、あわれみに満ちていられる。

5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].

主はおのれを恐れる者に食物を与え、その契約をとこしえに心にとめられる。

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.

主はもろもろの国民の所領をその民に与えて、みわざの力をこれにあらわされた。

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.

そのみ手のわざは真実かつ公正であり、すべてのさとしは確かである。

8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.

これらは世々かぎりなく堅く立ち、真実と正直とをもってなされた。

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!

主はその民にあがないを施し、その契約をとこしえに立てられた。そのみ名は聖にして、おそれおおい。

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!

主を恐れることは知恵のはじめである。これを行う者はみな良き悟りを得る。主の誉は、とこしえに、うせることはない。
