Psalms 111

1 Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.

Rühmet Jah! Ich will Jahwe von ganzem Herzen preisen im Kreise der Frommen und in der Gemeinde.

2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.

Groß sind die Werke Jahwes, der Erforschung wert für alle, die ihre Lust an ihnen haben.

3 [Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.

Majestät und Hoheit ist sein Thun, und seine Gerechtigkeit besteht für immer.

4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.

Er hat ein Gedächtnis seiner Wunder gestiftet; gnädig und barmherzig ist Jahwe.

5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].

Er hat denen, die ihn fürchten, Speise gegeben; er gedenkt auf ewig seines Bundes.

6 By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.

Die Macht seines Thuns hat er seinem Volke kund gethan, indem er ihnen das Besitztum der Heiden verlieh.

7 He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.

Das Thun seiner Hände ist Treue und Recht; zuverlässig sind alle seine Befehle,

8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.

gestützt für immer, für ewig, ausgeführt in Treue und Redlichkeit.

9 He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!

Er hat seinem Volk Erlösung gesandt, auf ewig seinen Bund bestellt: heilig und furchtbar ist sein Name!

10 Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!

Die Furcht Jahwes ist der Weisheit Anfang; gute Einsicht wird allen, die sie üben. Sein Lobpreis besteht für immer.
