Psalms 111

1 Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

הללו-יה אודה יהוה בכל-לבב בסוד ישרים ועדה

2 The LORD’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

גדלים מעשי יהוה דרושים לכל-חפציהם

3 His work is honour and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

הוד-והדר פעלו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

זכר עשה לנפלאותיו חנון ורחום יהוה

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

טרף נתן ליראיו יזכר לעולם בריתו

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו-- לתת להם נחלת גוים

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

מעשי ידיו אמת ומשפט נאמנים כל-פקודיו

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

סמוכים לעד לעולם עשוים באמת וישר

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

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

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

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