Psalms 111:10

111:10 To obey the Lord is the fundamental principle for wise living; ¹ 

all who carry out his precepts acquire good moral insight. ² 

He will receive praise forever. ³ 

James 3:18

3:18 And the fruit that consists of righteousness ⁴  is planted ⁵  in peace among ⁶  those who make peace.

[111:10]  ¹ tn Heb “the beginning of wisdom [is] the fear of the Lord.”

[111:10]  ² tn Heb “good sense [is] to all who do them.” The third masculine plural pronominal suffix must refer back to the “precepts” mentioned in v. 7. In the translation the referent has been specified for clarity. The phrase שֵׂכֶל טוֹב (shekhel tov) also occurs in Prov 3:4; 13:15 and 2 Chr 30:22.

[111:10]  ³ tn Heb “his praise stands forever.”

[3:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “the fruit of righteousness,” meaning righteous living as a fruit, as the thing produced.

[3:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “is sown.”

[3:18]  ⁶ tn Or “for,” or possibly “by.”
