[1] Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
[2] Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with 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 trustworthy.
[5] The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
[6] By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
[7] He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
[8] Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
[9] For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
[10] The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
[11] The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
[13] The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
[14] From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
[15] He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
[16] No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
[17] A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
[18] Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
[19] to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
[20] Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
[21] For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
[22] May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
