Psalms 111

1 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

Praise you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

He has made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

He has given meat to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

He has showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

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

8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

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

9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

He sent redemption to his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10 The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!

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