[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.
