Psalms 111

1 Ẹ máa yin Olúwa. Èmi yóò máa yin Olúwa pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn mi, ní àwùjọ àwọn olóòtítọ́, àti ní ìjọ ènìyàn.

Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all [my] heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Iṣẹ́ Olúwa tóbi, àwọn tí ó ní inú dídùn, ń ṣe àṣàrò nínú rẹ̀.

Great are the works of the Lord, they are sought for [by them] in all their desires.

3 Iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ọláńlá àti ògo: àti òdodo rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.

Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Ó ti ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀, láti máa rántí: Olúwa ni olóore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti pé ó kún fún àánú.

He hath made a memorial for his wonderful works: gracious and merciful is the Lord.

5 Ó ti fi oúnjẹ fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀: òun ń rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀.

He hath given sustenance unto those that fear him: he will for ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 Ó ti fihan àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ agbára iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ láti fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ ìlérí ní ìní.

The power of his works hath he told unto his people, that he might give them the heritage of nations.

7 Iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jẹ́ òtítọ́ àti ìdájọ́; gbogbo òfin rẹ̀ sì dájú.

The works of his hands are truth and justice: faultless are all his precepts.

8 Wọ́n dúró láé àti láé, ní òtítọ́ àti òdodo ni a ṣe wọ́n.

They are well supported for ever and eternally: they are framed in truth and uprightness.

9 Ó rán ìràpadà sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀: ó pàṣẹ májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ títí láé, mímọ́ àti ọ̀wọ̀ ni orúkọ rẹ̀.

Redemption hath he sent unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and to be feared is his name.

10 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ni ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọgbọ́n: òye dáradára ni yóò máa ṣe òfin rẹ̀, ìyìn rẹ̀ dúró láé.

The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; a good understanding have all that fulfill [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
