Psalms 111

1 Praise Yahweh. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright, in their gathering.

Praise all of you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 He does wonderful things that will be remembered; Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

He has made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He gives food to his faithful followers. He will always call to mind his covenant.

He has given food unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He showed his powerful works to his people in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

He has showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

9 He gave victory to his people; he ordained his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.

He sent redemption unto his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10 To honor Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; those who carry out his instructions have good understanding. His praise endures forever.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
