< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise Yahweh. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright, in their gathering.
Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.
2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus 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 annuntiabit populo suo,
7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.
ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.
8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.
Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, 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 ejus.
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 ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
