Psalms 111

1 Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

2 The LORD’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

3 His work is honour and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
