Psalms 111

¹ Al eluia! I give thanks to Yahweh with al my heart, in the meeting-place of honest people, in theassembly.

² Great are the deeds of Yahweh, to be pondered by al who delight in them.

³ Ful of splendour and majesty his work, his saving justice stands firm for ever.

⁴ He gives us a memorial of his great deeds; Yahweh is mercy and tenderness.

⁵ He gives food to those who fear him, he keeps his covenant ever in mind.

⁶ His works show his people his power in giving them the birthright of the nations.

⁷ The works of his hands are fidelity and justice, al his precepts are trustworthy,

⁸ established for ever and ever, accomplished in fidelity and honesty.

⁹ Deliverance he sends to his people, his covenant he imposes for ever; holy and awesome his name.

¹⁰ The root of wisdom is fear of Yahweh; those who attain it are wise. His praise wil continue for ever.
