Psalms 111

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

הללו-יה אודה יהוה בכל-לבב בסוד ישרים ועדה

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

גדלים מעשי יהוה דרושים לכל-חפציהם

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

הוד-והדר פעלו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

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

זכר עשה לנפלאותיו חנון ורחום יהוה

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

טרף נתן ליראיו יזכר לעולם בריתו

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

כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו-- לתת להם נחלת גוים

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

מעשי ידיו אמת ומשפט נאמנים כל-פקודיו

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

סמוכים לעד לעולם עשוים באמת וישר

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

פדות שלח לעמו-- צוה-לעולם בריתו קדוש ונורא שמו

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

ראשית חכמה יראת יהוה-- שכל טוב לכל-עשיהם תהלתו עמדת לעד
