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.

Herrens storhet och nåd
111 [a][b]Halleluja!
Jag vill tacka Herren
av hela mitt hjärta
i de ärligas råd och församling.
2 Stora är Herrens gärningar,
de begrundas av alla
som älskar dem.
3 Majestät och härlighet är hans verk,
hans rättfärdighet består för evigt.
4 Han gör så att man minns
hans under,
nådig och barmhärtig är Herren.
5 [c]Han ger mat åt dem
som vördar honom,
han minns sitt förbund för evigt.
6 Sina gärningars kraft
visade han sitt folk
när han gav dem
hednafolkens arvedel.
7 [d]Hans händers verk
är sanning och rätt,
alla hans befallningar
är orubbliga[e].
8 De står fasta för alltid
och för evigt,
fullbordade med sanning
och rättvisa.
9 [f]Han har sänt sitt folk befrielse
och grundat sitt förbund
för evig tid.
Heligt och vördat är hans namn.
10 [g]Att vörda Herren
är början till vishet,
gott förstånd får alla
som handlar så.
Hans lov består för evigt.
