1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous!

Praise is fitting for the upright.

2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre.

Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

3 Sing to him a new song.

Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

4 For Yahweh’s word is right.

All his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice.

The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

6 By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made:

all their army by the breath of his mouth.

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 Yahweh.

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 firm.

10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing.

He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever,

the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,

the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

13 Yahweh looks from heaven.

He sees all the sons of men.

14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 he who fashions all of their hearts;

and he considers all of their works.

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army.

A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

17 A horse is a vain thing for safety,

neither does he deliver any by his great power.

18 Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him,

on those who hope in his loving kindness,

19 to deliver their soul from death,

to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh.

He is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart rejoices in him,

because we have trusted in his holy name.

22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh,

since we have hoped in you.

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, [for] to the upright praise is beautiful.

2 Celebrate unto the LORD with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing unto him a new song; play unto excellence with joy.

4 For the word of the LORD [is] right, and all his works [are done] in truth.

5 He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the LORD.

6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens 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 deeps for treasures.

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 came into being.

10 The LORD brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nought; he makes the devices of the peoples of no effect.

11 The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed [is] the people whose God [is] the LORD; the people [whom] he has chosen for his own inheritance.

13 The LORD looked from heaven; he saw all the sons of Adam.

14 From the place of his habitation he looked upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He fashioned all of their hearts; he considers all their works.

16 The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength.

17 A horse [is] a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon those that fear him, upon those that wait for his mercy

19 to deliver their souls from death and to keep them alive in the famine.

20 Our soul waited for the LORD; he [is] our help and our shield.

21 Therefore our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in the name of his holiness.

22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited upon thee.:
