Psalms 111-113

Psalm 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!

Psalm 112

¹Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

²Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

⁴Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

⁵Good is the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

⁶For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

⁷Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

⁸Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

⁹He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

¹⁰The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

Psalm 113

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

²The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.

³From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised is the name of Jehovah.

⁴High above all nations is Jehovah, Above the heavens is his honour.

⁵Who is as Jehovah our God, He is exalting Himself to sit?

⁶He is humbling Himself to look On the heavens and on the earth.

⁷He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

⁸To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

⁹Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!
