1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
-
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
-
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
-
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
-
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
-
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
-
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
-
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
-
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
-
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
-
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
-
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
-
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
-
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
-
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
-
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
-
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
-
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
-
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
-
20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
-
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
-
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

- 1 Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright.
- 2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
- 3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
- 4 For the word of the LORD is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness.
- 5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
- 6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
- 7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
- 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
- 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
- 10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
- 11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
- 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
- 13 The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men;
- 14 From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth,
- 15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.
- 16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
- 17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
- 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
- 19 To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine.
- 20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
- 21 For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name.
- 22 Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, According as we have hoped in You.
