Psalms 111

1Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

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

2The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

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

3His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

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

4Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

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

5He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

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

6He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

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

7The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

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

8They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

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

9He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

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

10The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.

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.
