[1] Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
[2] Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument 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 right, And all His work is done in truth.
[5] He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
[6] By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
[7] He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep 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 brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
[11] The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
[13] The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
[14] From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;
[15] He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.
[16] No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
[17] A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
[18] Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,
[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 shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
[22] Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
