Psalms 111 YLT
Summary: An acrostic psalm — each of its short lines beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet — opening "Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart" (v. 1). It celebrates God's works as "great," "honourable and glorious," and his covenant remembered forever, including giving Israel "the heritage of the heathen" (v. 6). It closes with its most famous line, echoed elsewhere in wisdom literature: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments" (v. 10).
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!
