Psalms 111

1Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company. 2Great are the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them. 3Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever. 4A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful is Jehovah. 5Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant. 6The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations. 7The works of His hands are true and just, Stedfast are all His appointments. 8They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness. 9Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful is His name. 10The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise is standing for ever!
