Psalms 111

1Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

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.

2Great <FI>are<Fi> the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

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.

3Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

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.

4A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah.

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.

5Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

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.

6The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

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 <FI>are<Fi> true and just, Stedfast <FI>are<Fi> all His appointments.

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 sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

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.

9Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful <FI>is<Fi> His name.

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 beginning of wisdom <FI>is<Fi> fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise <FI>is<Fi> standing for ever!

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.
