Psalms 111

1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out by all them that have pleasure in them.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

3 His work [is] honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 He hath given food to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 He sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
