Greatly to be Praised

Psalm 111

Halleluyah!

I will wholeheartedly give thanks to YHVH

in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

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

His work is full of majesty and splendour,

and his righteousness continues forever.

He has gained renown for his wonders.

YHVH is merciful and compassionate.

He gives food to those who fear him.

He remembers his covenant forever.

He shows his people how powerfully he works

by giving them the nations as their heritage.

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

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

 

He sent redemption to his people
and decreed that his covenant should last forever.

His name is kadosh and fearsome:

the first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of YHVH;

All those living by it gain good common sense.

His praise stands forever.
