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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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!

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