< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise Yahweh. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright, in their gathering.
Alleluia. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: in consilio iustorum, et congregatione.
2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates eius.
3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.
Confessio et magnificentia opus eius: et iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 He does wonderful things that will be remembered; Yahweh is gracious and merciful.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus:
5 He gives food to his faithful followers. He will always call to mind his covenant.
escam dedit timentibus se. Memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui:
6 He showed his powerful works to his people in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
virtutem operum suorum annunciabit populo suo:
7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.
Ut det illis hereditatem gentium: opera manuum eius veritas, et iudicium.
8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.
Fidelia omnia mandata eius: confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.
9 He gave victory to his people; he ordained his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.
Redemptionem misit populo suo: mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum, et terribile nomen eius:
10 To honor Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; those who carry out his instructions have good understanding. His praise endures forever.
initium sapientiæ timor Domini. Intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio eius manet in sæculum sæculi.
