1Rejoice[H7442] in the LORD[H3068], O ye righteous[H6662]: for praise[H8416] is comely[H5000] for the upright[H3477].
2Praise[H3034] the LORD[H3068] with harp[H3658]: sing[H2167] unto him with the psaltery[H5035] and an instrument of ten strings[H6218].
3Sing[H7891] unto him a new[H2319]song[H7892]; play[H5059]skilfully[H3190] with a loud noise[H8643].
4
For the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] is right[H3477]; and all his works[H4639] are done in truth[H530].
5
He loveth[H157]righteousness[H6666] and judgment[H4941]: the earth[H776] is full[H4390] of the goodness[H2617] of the LORD[H3068].
6
By the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] were the heavens[H8064]made[H6213]; and all the host[H6635] of them by the breath[H7307] of his mouth[H6310].
7
He gathereth[H3664] the waters[H4325] of the sea[H3220] together as an heap[H5067]: he layeth up[H5414] the depth[H8415] in storehouses[H214].
8
Let all the earth[H776]fear[H3372] the LORD[H3068]: let all the inhabitants[H3427] of the world[H8398] stand in awe[H1481] of him.
9
For he spake[H559], and it was done; he commanded[H6680], and it stood fast[H5975].
10
The LORD[H3068]bringeth[H6331] the counsel[H6098] of the heathen[H1471] to nought[H6331]: he maketh[H5106] the devices[H4284] of the people[H5971] of none effect[H5106].
11
The counsel[H6098] of the LORD[H3068]standeth[H5975] for ever[H5769], the thoughts[H4284] of his heart[H3820] to all[H1755]generations[H1755].
12Blessed[H835] is the nation[H1471] whose God[H430] is the LORD[H3068]; and the people[H5971] whom he hath chosen[H977] for his own inheritance[H5159].
13
The LORD[H3068]looketh[H5027] from heaven[H8064]; he beholdeth[H7200] all the sons[H1121] of men[H120].
14
From the place[H4349] of his habitation[H3427] he looketh[H7688] upon all the inhabitants[H3427] of the earth[H776].
15
He fashioneth[H3335] their hearts[H3820]alike[H3162]; he considereth[H995] all their works[H4639].
16
There is no king[H4428]saved[H3467] by the multitude[H7230] of an host[H2428]: a mighty man[H1368] is not delivered[H5337] by much[H7230]strength[H3581].
17
An horse[H5483] is a vain thing[H8267] for safety[H8668]: neither shall he deliver[H4422] any by his great[H7230]strength[H2428].
18
Behold, the eye[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] is upon them that fear[H3373] him, upon them that hope[H3176] in his mercy[H2617];
19
To deliver[H5337] their soul[H5315] from death[H4194], and to keep them alive[H2421] in famine[H7458].
20
Our soul[H5315]waiteth[H2442] for the LORD[H3068]: he is our help[H5828] and our shield[H4043].
21
For our heart[H3820] shall rejoice[H8055] in him, because we have trusted[H982] in his holy[H6944]name[H8034].
22
Let thy mercy[H2617], O LORD[H3068], be upon us, according as we hope[H3176] in thee.
