Psalms 111

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
