Psalm 111

1. Halleluyah! 1 I will wholeheartedly give thanks to Adonai 1 in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

2. The deeds of Adonai are great, 2 greatly desired by all who enjoy them.

3. His work is full of majesty and splendor, 3 and his righteousness continues forever.

4. He has gained renown for his wonders. 4 Adonai is merciful and compassionate.

5. He gives food to those who fear him. 5 He remembers his covenant forever.

6. He shows his people how powerfully he works 6 by giving them the nations as their heritage.

7. The works of his hands are truth and justice; 7 all his precepts can be trusted.

8. They have been established forever and ever, 8 to be carried out truly and honestly.

9. He sent redemption to his people 9 and decreed that his covenant should last forever. 9 His name is holy and fearsome —

10. the first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai; 10 all those living by it gain good common sense. 10 His praise stands forever.
