Psalms 111

1Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly 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.

2The works of the Lord 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.

3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

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

5He hath given meat 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.

6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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 verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

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

8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

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

9He 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 fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his 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.
