Psalms 111— Hebrew word study · with the Hebrew tradition
How to read a word below: the Hebrewword, then how it sounds, then what it means, then its number in Strong’s concordance, which is the key every lexicon and concordance uses (H for Hebrew and Aramaic, G for Greek). Square brackets hold a word the English supplies that the Hebrew does not, angle brackets name a word that does a grammatical job rather than carrying a meaning, and the mark ס or פ is where the Hebrew manuscripts end a paragraph.
1Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
Rashi on Psalms 111:1
Hallelujah, I shall thank, etc. This psalm was based on the alphabet, one letter at the beginning of the verse and one in the middle of it, and so all of them [this psalm’s verses are] from “aleph” to “tav,” and so too is the second psalm.

2Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.
4He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
Rashi on Psalms 111:4
He made a memorial He set down for Israel Sabbaths and festivals and commandments, of which was stated (Deut.:15): “And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt,” because He is gracious and merciful to His children, and He wishes to make them righteous.
