DOUAI-RHEIMSNEW JERUSALEM
1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.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 works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills2 Great are the deeds of Yahweh, to be pondered by al who delight in them.
3 His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.3 Ful of splendour and majesty his work, his saving justice stands firm for ever.
4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:4 He gives us a memorial of his great deeds; Yahweh is mercy and tenderness.
5 he hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:5 He gives food to those who fear him, he keeps his covenant ever in mind.
6 he will shew forth to his people the power of his works.6 His works show his people his power in giving them the birthright of the nations.
7 That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.7 The works of his hands are fidelity and justice, al his precepts are trustworthy,
8 All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.8 established for ever and ever, accomplished in fidelity and honesty.
9 He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:9 Deliverance he sends to his people, his covenant he imposes for ever; holy and awesome his name.
10 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.10 The root of wisdom is fear of Yahweh; those who attain it are wise. His praise wil continue for ever.
