Psalms 111
The AIT Bible
The Great Works of Yahweh
1Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart, in the council of the upright and the assembly.
2Great are the works of Yahweh, studied by all who delight in them.
3Splendor and majesty are his work, and his righteousness stands forever.
4He has made a memorial for his wonders; gracious and compassionate is Yahweh.
5He has given food to those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.
6The power of his works he has declared to his people, giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7The works of his hands are truth and justice; all his precepts are trustworthy,
8upheld forever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.
9He sent redemption to his people; he commanded his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.
10The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; good understanding belongs to all who practice them. His praise stands forever.
