PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my whole heartH3824, in the assemblyH5475 of the uprightH3477, and in the congregationH5712. {Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah}
The worksH4639 of the LORDH3068 are greatH1419, sought outH1875 of all them that have pleasureH2656 therein.
His workH6467 is honourableH1935 and gloriousH1926: and his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703.
He hath madeH6213 his wonderful worksH6381 to be rememberedH2143: the LORDH3068 is graciousH2587 and full of compassionH7349.
He hath givenH5414 meatH2964 unto them that fearH3373 him: he will everH5769 be mindfulH2142 of his covenantH1285. {meat: Heb. prey}
He hath shewedH5046 his peopleH5971 the powerH3581 of his worksH4639, that he may giveH5414 them the heritageH5159 of the heathenH1471.
The worksH4639 of his handsH3027 are verityH571 and judgmentH4941; all his commandmentsH6490 are sureH539.
They stand fastH5564 for everH5703 and everH5769, and are doneH6213 in truthH571 and uprightnessH3477. {stand…: Heb. are established}
He sentH7971 redemptionH6304 unto his peopleH5971: he hath commandedH6680 his covenantH1285 for everH5769: holyH6918 and reverendH3372 is his nameH8034.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of wisdomH2451: a goodH2896 understandingH7922 have all they that doH6213 his commandments: his praiseH8416 endurethH5975 for everH5703. {a good…: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}
Querverweise zu Psalm 111,2 Ps 111,2
I will rememberH2142+H2142 the worksH4611 of the LORDH3050: surely I will rememberH2142 thy wondersH6382 of oldH6924.
For thou, LORDH3068, hast made me gladH8055 through thy workH6467: I will triumphH7442 in the worksH4639 of thy handsH3027.
O LORDH3068, how manifoldH7231 are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy richesH7075.
Wherefore is there a priceH4242 in the handH3027 of a foolH3684 to getH7069 wisdomH2451, seeing he hath no heartH3820 to it?
I will praiseH3034 thee; for I am fearfullyH3372 and wonderfully madeH6395: marvellousH6381 are thy worksH4639; and that my soulH5315 knowethH3045 right wellH3966. {right…: Heb. greatly}
O LORDH3068, how manifoldH7231 are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy richesH7075.
Through desireH8378 a man, having separatedH6504 himself, seekethH1245 and intermeddlethH1566 with all wisdomH8454. {Through…: or, He that separateth himself seeketh according to his desire, and intermeddleth in every business}
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH369+H2714; marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without…: Heb. till there be no number}
A foolH3684 hath no delightH2654 in understandingH8394, but that his heartH3820 may discoverH1540 itself.
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 pastH369 finding outH2714; yea, and wondersH6381 without numberH4557.
Whoso is wiseH2450, and will observeH8104 these things, even they shall understandH995 the lovingkindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068.
So shall the knowledgeH3045 of wisdomH2451 be unto thy soulH5315: when thou hast foundH4672 it, then there shall beH3426 a rewardH319, and thy expectationH8615 shall not be cut offH3772.
He dividethH7280 the seaH3220 with his powerH3581, and by his understandingH8394+H8394 he smitethH4272 through the proudH7293. {the proud: Heb. pride}
By his spiritH7307 he hath garnishedH8235 the heavensH8064; his handH3027 hath formedH2342 the crookedH1281 serpentH5175.
Lo, these are partsH7098 of his waysH1870: but how littleH8102 a portionH1697 is heardH8085 of him? but the thunderH7482 of his powerH1369 who can understandH995?
I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
Then the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, and saidH559,
Who is this that darkenethH2821 counselH6098 by wordsH4405 without knowledgeH1847?
Gird upH247 now thy loinsH2504 like a manH1397; for I will demandH7592 of thee, and answerH3045 thou me. {answer…: Heb. make me know}
WhereH375 wast thou when I laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776? declareH5046, if thou hastH3045 understandingH998. {hast…: Heb. knowest understanding}
Who hath laidH7760 the measuresH4461 thereof, if thou knowestH3045? or who hath stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 upon it?
Whereupon are the foundationsH134 thereof fastenedH2883? or who laidH3384 the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and all the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joy?
Or who shut upH5526 the seaH3220 with doorsH1817, when it brake forthH1518, as if it had issued outH3318 of the wombH7358?
When I madeH7760 the cloudH6051 the garmentH3830 thereof, and thick darknessH6205 a swaddlingbandH2854 for it,
And brake upH7665 for it my decreedH2706 place, and setH7760 barsH1280 and doorsH1817, {brake…: or, established my decree upon it}
And saidH559, HithertoH5704+H6311 shalt thou comeH935, but no furtherH3254: and here shall thy proudH1347 wavesH1530 be stayedH7896? {thy…: Heb. the pride of thy waves}
Hast thou commandedH6680 the morningH1242 since thy daysH3117; and caused the dayspringH7837 to knowH3045 his placeH4725;
That it might take holdH270 of the endsH3671 of the earthH776, that the wickedH7563 might be shaken outH5287 of it? {ends: Heb. wings}
It is turnedH2015 as clayH2563 to the sealH2368; and they standH3320 as a garmentH3830.
And from the wickedH7563 their lightH216 is withholdenH4513, and the highH7311 armH2220 shall be brokenH7665.
Hast thou enteredH935 into the springsH5033 of the seaH3220? or hast thou walkedH1980 in the searchH2714 of the depthH8415?
Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been openedH1540 unto thee? or hast thou seenH7200 the doorsH8179 of the shadow of deathH6757?
Hast thou perceivedH995 the breadthH7338 of the earthH776? declareH5046 if thou knowestH3045 it all.
Where is the wayH1870 where lightH216 dwellethH7931? and as for darknessH2822, where is the placeH4725 thereof,
That thou shouldest takeH3947 it to the boundH1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest knowH995 the pathsH5410 to the houseH1004 thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}
KnowestH3045 thou it, because thou wast then bornH3205? or because the numberH4557 of thy daysH3117 is greatH7227?
Hast thou enteredH935 into the treasuresH214 of the snowH7950? or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuresH214 of the hailH1259,
Which I have reservedH2820 against the timeH6256 of troubleH6862, against the dayH3117 of battleH7128 and warH4421?
By whatH335 wayH1870 is the lightH216 partedH2505, which scatterethH6327 the east windH6921 upon the earthH776?
Who hath dividedH6385 a watercourseH8585 for the overflowing of watersH7858, or a wayH1870 for the lightningH2385 of thunderH6963;
To cause it to rainH4305 on the earthH776, where no manH376 is; on the wildernessH4057, wherein there is no manH120;
To satisfyH7646 the desolateH7722 and wasteH4875 ground; and to cause the budH4161 of the tender herbH1877 to spring forthH6779?
HathH3426 the rainH4306 a fatherH1? or who hath begottenH3205 the dropsH96 of dewH2919?
Out of whose wombH990 cameH3318 the iceH7140? and the hoary frostH3713 of heavenH8064, who hath genderedH3205 it?
The watersH4325 are hidH2244 as with a stoneH68, and the faceH6440 of the deepH8415 is frozenH3920. {is…: Heb. is taken}
Canst thou bindH7194 the sweet influencesH4575 of PleiadesH3598, or looseH6605 the bandsH4189 of OrionH3685? {Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}
Canst thou bring forthH3318 MazzarothH4216 in his seasonH6256? or canst thou guideH5148 ArcturusH5906 with his sonsH1121? {Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}
KnowestH3045 thou the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064? canst thou setH7760 the dominionH4896 thereof in the earthH776?
Canst thou lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 to the cloudsH5645, that abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680 thee?
Canst thou sendH7971 lightningsH1300, that they may goH3212, and sayH559 unto thee, Here we are? {Here…: Heb. Behold us?}
Who hath putH7896 wisdomH2451 in the inward partsH2910? or who hath givenH5414 understandingH998 to the heartH7907?
Who can numberH5608 the cloudsH7834 in wisdomH2451? or who can stayH7901 the bottlesH5035 of heavenH8064, {stay: Heb. cause to lie down}
When the dustH6083 growethH3332 into hardnessH4165, and the clodsH7263 cleave fast togetherH1692? {groweth…: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}
Wilt thou huntH6679 the preyH2964 for the lionH3833? or fillH4390 the appetiteH2416 of the young lionsH3715, {the appetite: Heb. the life}
When they couchH7817 in their densH4585, and abideH3427 in the covertH5521 toH3926 lie in waitH695?
Who providethH3559 for the ravenH6158 his foodH6718? when his young onesH3206 cryH7768 unto GodH410, they wanderH8582 for lackH1097 of meatH400.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
Canst thou draw outH4900 leviathanH3882 with an hookH2443? or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 which thou lettest downH8257? {leviathan: That is, a whale or a whirlepoole} {which…: Heb. which thou drownest?}
Canst thou putH7760 an hookH100 into his noseH639? or boreH5344 his jawH3895 through with a thornH2336?
Will he make manyH7235 supplicationsH8469 unto thee? will he speakH1696 softH7390 words unto thee?
Will he makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947 him for a servantH5650 for everH5769?
Wilt thou playH7832 with him as with a birdH6833? or wilt thou bindH7194 him for thy maidensH5291?
Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739 of him? shall they partH2673 him among the merchantsH3669?
Canst thou fillH4390 his skinH5785 with barbed ironsH7905? or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spearsH6767?
LayH7760 thine handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142 the battleH4421, do no moreH3254.
Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vainH3576: shall not one be cast downH2904 even at the sightH4758 of him?
None is so fierceH393 that dare stir him upH5782+H5782: who then is able to standH3320 beforeH6440 me?
Who hath preventedH6923 me, that I should repayH7999 him? whatsoever is under the whole heavenH8064 is mine.
I will not concealH2790 his partsH907, nor his powerH1369+H1697, nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187.
Who can discoverH1540 the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935 to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448? {with: or, within}
Who can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? his teethH8127 are terribleH367 round aboutH5439.
His scalesH4043+H650 are his prideH1346, shut up togetherH5462 as with a closeH6862 sealH2368. {scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields}
OneH259 is so nearH5066 to anotherH259, that no airH7307 can comeH935 between them.
They are joinedH1692 oneH376 to anotherH251, they stick togetherH3920, that they cannot be sunderedH6504.
By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.
Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap outH4422.
Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318 smokeH6227, as out of a seethingH5301 potH1731 or caldronH100.
His breathH5315 kindlethH3857 coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310.
In his neckH6677 remainethH3885 strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750 beforeH6440 him. {is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth}
The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined togetherH1692: they are firmH3332 in themselves; they cannot be movedH4131. {flakes: Heb. fallings}
His heartH3820 is as firmH3332 as a stoneH68; yea, as hardH3332 as a pieceH6400 of the netherH8482 millstone.
When he raiseth upH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraidH1481: by reason of breakingsH7667 they purifyH2398 themselves.
The swordH2719 of him that layethH5381 at him cannot holdH6965: the spearH2595, the dartH4551, nor the habergeonH8302. {habergeon: or, breastplate}
He esteemethH2803 ironH1270 as strawH8401, and brassH5154 as rottenH7539 woodH6086.
The arrowH1121+H7198 cannot make him fleeH1272: slingstonesH68+H7050 are turnedH2015 with him into stubbleH7179.
DartsH8455 are countedH2803 as stubbleH7179: he laughethH7832 at the shakingH7494 of a spearH3591.
SharpH2303 stonesH2789 are under him: he spreadethH7502 sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mireH2916. {Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd}
He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570 like a potH5518: he makethH7760 the seaH3220 like a pot of ointmentH4841.
He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215 afterH310 him; one would thinkH2803 the deepH8415 to be hoaryH7872.
Upon earthH6083 there is not his likeH4915, who is madeH6213 withoutH1097 fearH2844. {is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear}
He beholdethH7200 all highH1364 things: he is a kingH4428 over all the childrenH1121 of prideH7830.
He hath madeH6213 every thing beautifulH3303 in his timeH6256: also he hath setH5414 the worldH5769 in their heartH3820, so thatH1097 no manH120 can find outH4672 the workH4639 that GodH430 makethH6213 from the beginningH7218 to the endH5490.
Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his handH8168, and meted outH8505 heavenH8064 with the spanH2239, and comprehendedH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH7991, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in scalesH6425, and the hillsH1389 in a balanceH3976? {a measure: Heb. a tierce}
OfG4012 whichG3739 salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 have enquiredG1567 andG2532 searched diligentlyG1830, whoG3588 prophesiedG4395 ofG4012 the graceG5485 that should come untoG1519 youG5209:
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581 and stretched outH5186 armH2220, and there is nothingH1697 too hardH6381 for thee: {too…: or, hid from thee}
Thou shewestH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 unto thousandsH505, and recompensestH7999 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 into the bosomH2436 of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: the GreatH1419, the MightyH1368 GodH410, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, is his nameH8034,
GreatH1419 in counselH6098, and mightyH7227 in workH5950: for thine eyesH5869 are openH6491 upon all the waysH1870 of the sonsH1121 of menH120: to giveH5414 every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611: {work: Heb. doing}
HowH4101 greatH7260 are his signsH852! and howH4101 mightyH8624 are his wondersH8540! his kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and his dominionH7985 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859.
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
AndG2532 they singG103 the songG5603 of MosesG3475 the servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG2532 the songG5603 of the LambG721, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 andG2532 marvellousG2298 are thyG4675 worksG2041, LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841; justG1342 andG2532 trueG228 are thyG4675 waysG3598, thou KingG935 of saintsG40. {saints: or, nations, or, ages}
