< 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 ye Yah! I will give thanks unto Yahweh, with a whole heart, in the circle of the upright and the assembly.
2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.
Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.
3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.
Honourable and majestic, is his doing, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
4 He does wonderful things that will be remembered; Yahweh is gracious and merciful.
A memorial, hath he made by his wonders, Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh.
5 He gives food to his faithful followers. He will always call to mind his covenant.
Food, hath he given to them who revere him, He will remember, age-abidingly, his covenant.
6 He showed his powerful works to his people in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.
The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;
8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.
Upheld to futurity, to times age-abiding, done in faithfulness and equity.
9 He gave victory to his people; he ordained his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.
Ransom, hath he sent to his people, He hath commanded, to times age-abiding, his covenant, 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 beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.
