Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all my heart, in the assembled congregation of his people.

הללו-יה אודה יהוה בכל-לבב בסוד ישרים ועדה

2 Great are the things that the Lord has done, worthy of study by those who love them.

גדלים מעשי יהוה דרושים לכל-חפציהם

3 Majestic and glorious is his work, and his righteousness abides forever.

הוד-והדר פעלו וצדקתו עמדת לעד

4 For his marvellous deeds he has won renown; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

זכר עשה לנפלאותיו חנון ורחום יהוה

5 Food he gives to those who fear him, always he remembers his covenant.

טרף נתן ליראיו יזכר לעולם בריתו

6 His mighty works he has shown to his people, in giving to them the nations for heritage.

כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו-- לתת להם נחלת גוים

7 All that he does is faithful and right, all his behests are firm and sure.

מעשי ידיו אמת ומשפט נאמנים כל-פקודיו

8 They are established for ever and ever, executed with truth and uprightness.

סמוכים לעד לעולם עשוים באמת וישר

9 To his people he sent redemption, he has appointed his covenant forever. His name is holy and awe-inspiring.

פדות שלח לעמו-- צוה-לעולם בריתו קדוש ונורא שמו

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom those who keep it are wise indeed. His praise abides for ever and ever.

ראשית חכמה יראת יהוה-- שכל טוב לכל-עשיהם תהלתו עמדת לעד
