Salmo 111
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Pagpupuri sa Dios
111 Purihin ang Panginoon!
Buong puso kong pasasalamatan ang Panginoon sa pagtitipon ng mga matuwid.
2 Napakadakila ng mga gawa ng Panginoon;
iniisip ito ng lahat ng nagagalak sa kanyang mga gawa.
3 Ang lahat ng kanyang mga gawa ay nagpapakita ng kanyang kapangyarihan at karangalan.
At ang kanyang katuwiran ay nagpapatuloy magpakailanman.
4 Ipinaaalala niya ang kanyang mga kahanga-hangang gawa.
Siya ay mapagbiyaya at mahabagin.
5 Binibigyan niya ng pagkain ang mga may takot sa kanya,
at ang kanyang kasunduan sa kanila ay hindi niya kinakalimutan.
6 Ipinakita niya sa kanyang mga mamamayan ang kapangyarihan ng kanyang mga gawa,
sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa kanila ng mga lupain ng ibang mga bansa.
7 Tapat at matuwid ang lahat niyang ginagawa,
at mapagkakatiwalaan ang lahat niyang mga utos.
8 Ang kanyang mga utos ay mananatili magpakailanman,
at itoʼy ibinigay niya nang buong katapatan at ayon sa katuwiran.
9 Tinubos niya ang kanyang mga mamamayan,
at gumawa siya ng kasunduan na pangwalang hanggan.
Banal siya at kahanga-hanga.
10 Ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon ang pinagmumulan ng karunungan.
Lahat ng sumusunod sa kanyang mga utos ay may mabuting pang-unawa.
Purihin siya magpakailanman.
