< 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.
Alleluja. [Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.
2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
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.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui.
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.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,
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.
ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.
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!
Redemptionem misit populo suo; mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus.
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!
Initium sapientiæ timor Domini; intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.]
