Psalms 111

1 Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust.

Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart in the congregation of the faithful.

2 The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.

All the wonderful things the Lord has done are studied by everyone who loves them.

3 His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

His majesty and honor are revealed by what he does; his goodness lasts forever.

4 He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.

He wants the wonderful things he has done to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and kind.

5 He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.

He feeds those who respect him; he always remembers the agreement he made.

6 He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.

He demonstrated to his people the powerful things he could do by giving them the lands of other nations.

7 The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.

Everything he does can be depended on, and is right; all his commandments are trustworthy.

8 They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.

They remain rock-solid forever. He was true and right in saying what should be done.

9 He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.

He delivered his people. He commanded that his agreement would continue forever. How holy and awesome is his reputation!

10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.

The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!
