Psalm 111
King James Version
111 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Psalm 111
1 Halleluja! Ik zal de Heer van harte prijzen.
Ik prijs Hem wanneer de mensen die van Hem houden
naar de bijeenkomst komen.
2 De Heer doet geweldige dingen.
De mensen die daarvan genieten, denken er steeds aan.
3 Aan alles wat Hij doet is te zien hoe machtig Hij is.
Hij is altijd rechtvaardig, voor eeuwig.
4 Hij zorgt ervoor dat niemand zijn wonderen vergeet.
Hij is goed en liefdevol voor de mensen.
5 De mensen die ontzag voor Hem hebben
geeft Hij altijd genoeg te eten.
Hij houdt Zich voor eeuwig aan zijn verbond.
6 Hij liet zijn volk zien hoe machtig Hij is:
Hij gaf de landen van andere volken aan zijn eigen volk.
7 Alles wat Hij doet, is goed en rechtvaardig.
Alles wat Hij zegt, is te vertrouwen.
8 Zijn wetten gelden voor eeuwig.
Ze zijn goed en rechtvaardig.
9 Hij heeft zijn volk gered.
Hij heeft met hen een eeuwig verbond gesloten.

Dat is het begin van alle wijsheid.
De Heer moet voor eeuwig geprezen worden.
