PSALM 111
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
I will God's praise declare,
Where the assemblies of the just
and congregations are.
2The whole works of the Lord our God
are great above all measure,
Sought out they are of ev'ry one
that doth therein take pleasure.
3His work most honourable is,
most glorious and pure,
And his untainted righteousness
for ever doth endure.
4His works most wonderful he hath
made to be thought upon:
The Lord is gracious,
and he is full of compassion.
5He giveth meat unto all those
that truly do him fear;
And evermore his covenant
he in his mind will bear.
6He did the power of his works
unto his people show,
When he the heathen's heritage
upon them did bestow.
7His handy-works are truth and right;
all his commands are sure:
8And, done in truth and uprightness,
they evermore endure.
9He sent redemption to his folk;
his covenant for aye
He did command: holy his name
and rev'rend is alway.
10Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:
good understanding they
Have all that his commands fulfill:
his praise endures for aye.

Tehillim 111
111
1Praise Hashem. I will praise Hashem with kol levav, in the Sod (company, council) of the Yesharim (upright ones), and in the Edah (assembly).
2The ma'asei Hashem are gedolim, derushim (sought out, pondered) of all them that have delight therein.
3His po'al (deed, work) is glorious and majestic; and His tzedakah (righteousness) endureth forever.
4He hath caused His nifla'ot (wonderful works) to be remembered; Hashem is channun (gracious) and rachum (compassionate).
5He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will be mindful of His Brit (covenant) l'olam.
6He hath showed His people the ko'ach of His works, that He may give them the nachalat Goyim.
7The works of His hands are emes and mishpat; all His pikkudim (precepts, commands) are ne'emanim (sure, trustworthy ones).
8They stand fast la'ad l'olam (forever and ever), and are done in emes and yashar (uprightness).
9He sent redemption unto His people; He hath ordained His Brit (covenant) l'olam (forever); Kadosh (holy) and Nora (awesome, reverend) is Shmo.
10The fear of Hashem is the reshit chochmah; seichel tov have all they that live by it; His tehillah (praise) endureth forever.
