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 ye the LORD. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council 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 honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath 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 hath given meat unto 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 hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are sure.

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

They are established for ever and ever, they 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 hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath 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 thereafter: his praise endureth for ever.
