111 Halelúja. Ég vil lofa Drottin af öllu hjarta, í félagi og söfnuði réttvísra.

Mikil eru verk Drottins, verð íhugunar öllum þeim, er hafa unun af þeim.

Tign og vegsemd eru verk hans og réttlæti hans stendur stöðugt að eilífu.

Hann hefir látið dásemdarverka sinna minnst verða, náðugur og miskunnsamur er Drottinn.

Hann hefir gefið fæðu þeim, er óttast hann, hann minnist að eilífu sáttmála síns.

Hann hefir kunngjört þjóð sinni kraft verka sinna, með því að gefa þeim eignir heiðingjanna.

Verk handa hans eru trúfesti og réttvísi, öll fyrirmæli hans eru áreiðanleg,

örugg um aldur og ævi, framkvæmd í trúfesti og réttvísi.

Hann hefir sent lausn lýð sínum, skipað sáttmála sinn að eilífu, heilagt og óttalegt er nafn hans.

10 Upphaf speki er ótti Drottins, hann er fögur hyggindi öllum þeim, er iðka hann. Lofstír hans stendur um eilífð.

Psalm 111[a]

Praise the Lord.[b]

I will extol the Lord(A) with all my heart(B)
    in the council(C) of the upright and in the assembly.(D)

Great are the works(E) of the Lord;
    they are pondered by all(F) who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
    and his righteousness endures(G) forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
    the Lord is gracious and compassionate.(H)
He provides food(I) for those who fear him;(J)
    he remembers his covenant(K) forever.

He has shown his people the power of his works,(L)
    giving them the lands of other nations.(M)
The works of his hands(N) are faithful and just;
    all his precepts are trustworthy.(O)
They are established for ever(P) and ever,
    enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption(Q) for his people;
    he ordained his covenant forever—
    holy and awesome(R) is his name.

10 The fear of the Lord(S) is the beginning of wisdom;(T)
    all who follow his precepts have good understanding.(U)
    To him belongs eternal praise.(V)
