¹Halleluyah !

I will wholeheartedly give thanks to Adonai

in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

²The deeds of Adonai are great,

greatly desired by all who enjoy them.

³His work is full of majesty and splendor,

and his righteousness continues forever.

⁴He has gained renown for his wonders.

Adonai is merciful and compassionate.

⁵He gives food to those who fear him.

He remembers his covenant forever.

⁶He shows his people how powerfully he works

by giving them the nations as their heritage.

⁷The works of his hands are truth and justice;

all his precepts can be trusted.

⁸They have been established forever and ever,

to be carried out truly and honestly.

⁹He sent redemption to his people

and decreed that his covenant should last forever.

His name is holy and fearsome —

¹⁰the first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai ;

all those living by it gain good common sense.

His praise stands forever.
