Psalms 111

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

Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

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

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

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

His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

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

He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

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

The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

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

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

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

He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.

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

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
