Pagpupuri sa Dios

111 Purihin ang Panginoon!
    Buong puso kong pasasalamatan ang Panginoon sa pagtitipon ng mga matuwid.
Napakadakila ng mga gawa ng Panginoon;
    iniisip ito ng lahat ng nagagalak sa kanyang mga gawa.
Ang lahat ng kanyang mga gawa ay nagpapakita ng kanyang kapangyarihan at karangalan.
    At ang kanyang katuwiran ay nagpapatuloy magpakailanman.
Ipinaaalala niya ang kanyang mga kahanga-hangang gawa.
    Siya ay mapagbiyaya at mahabagin.
Binibigyan niya ng pagkain ang mga may takot sa kanya,
    at ang kanyang kasunduan sa kanila ay hindi niya kinakalimutan.
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.
Tapat at matuwid ang lahat niyang ginagawa,
    at mapagkakatiwalaan ang lahat niyang mga utos.
Ang kanyang mga utos ay mananatili magpakailanman,
    at itoʼy ibinigay niya nang buong katapatan at ayon sa katuwiran.
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.

111 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

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.
