Psalms 111

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

Alleluya. Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; in the counsel and congregacioun of iust men.

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

The werkis of the Lord ben greete; souyt out in to alle hise willis.

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

His werk is knoulechyng and grete doyng; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

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

The Lord merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, hath maad a mynde of hise merueilis;

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

he hath youe meete to men dredynge hym. He schal be myndeful of his testament in to the world;

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

he schal telle to his puple the vertu of hise werkis.

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

That he yyue to hem the eritage of folkis; the werkis of hise hondis ben treuthe and doom.

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

Alle hise comaundementis ben feithful, confermed in to the world of world; maad in treuthe and equite.

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

The Lord sente redempcioun to hys puple; he comaundide his testament with outen ende. His name is hooli and dreedful;

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

the bigynnyng of wisdom is the drede of the Lord. Good vndirstondyng is to alle that doen it; his preising dwellith in to the world of world.
