Psalms 111

1Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

3Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

4To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

5Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

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

6Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

7The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

8His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

9He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

10The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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.
