1 Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.
2 Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.
3 Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.
5 His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.
7 He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.
8 Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.
9 For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.
10 The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.
11 The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.
13 The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;
14 From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;
15 He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.
16 A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
17 A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
18 See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
19 To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
20 Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
21 For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.
22 Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
1 义人哪！ 你们要靠着耶和华欢呼； 正直人赞美主是合宜的。
2 你们要弹琴称谢耶和华， 用十弦瑟歌颂他。
3 你们要向他唱新歌， 在欢呼声中巧妙地弹奏。
4 因为耶和华的话是正直的， 他的一切作为都是诚实的。
5 耶和华喜爱公义和公正， 全地充满耶和华的慈爱。
6 诸天借着耶和华的话而造， 天上的万象借着他口中的气而成。
7 他把海水聚集成垒（"成垒"或译： "在皮袋里"）， 把深海安放在库房中。
8 愿全地都敬畏耶和华， 愿世上的居民都惧怕他。
9 因为他说有， 就有； 命立， 就立。
10 耶和华破坏列国的谋略， 使万民的计划挫败。
11 耶和华的谋略永远立定， 他心中的计划万代长存。
12 以耶和华为 神的， 那国是有福的； 耶和华拣选作自己产业的， 那民是有福的。
13 耶和华从天上观看， 他看见全人类。
14 从自己的住处， 他察看地上所有的居民。
15 他是那创造众人的心， 了解他们一切作为的。
16 君王不是因兵多得胜， 勇士不是因力大得救。
17 想靠马得胜是枉然的； 马虽然力大， 也不能救人。
18 耶和华的眼睛看顾敬畏他的人， 和那些仰望他慈爱的人；
19 要搭救他们的性命脱离死亡， 使他们在饥荒中可以存活。
20 我们的心等候耶和华， 他是我们的帮助、我们的盾牌。
21 我们的心因他欢乐， 因为我们倚靠他的圣名。
22 耶和华啊！ 求你照着我们所仰望你的， 向我们施慈爱。
