Psalmorum 111

1 Alleluia. Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: in consilio iustorum, et congregatione.

Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

2 Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates eius.

The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

3 Confessio et magnificentia opus eius: et iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi.

His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

4 Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus:

Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

5 escam dedit timentibus se. Memor erit in saeculum testamenti sui:

He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

6 virtutem operum suorum annunciabit populo suo:

He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 Ut det illis hereditatem gentium: opera manuum eius veritas, et iudicium.

The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

8 Fidelia omnia mandata eius: confirmata in saeculum saeculi, facta in veritate et aequitate.

They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

9 Redemptionem misit populo suo: mandavit in aeternum testamentum suum. Sanctum, et terribile nomen eius:

He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

10 initium sapientiae timor Domini. Intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio eius manet in saeculum saeculi.

The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.
