Psalms 111

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

1Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

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.

2The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

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.

3His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for 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.

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

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:

5He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

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.

6He hath showed his people the power of his works, In 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 just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

7The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

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.

8They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.

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.

9He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.

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.

10The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that dohis commandments: His praise endureth for ever.

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.
