[1] Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
[2] Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
[3] Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
[4] For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work isdonein faithfulness.
[5] He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
[6] By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
[7] He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
[8] Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
[9] For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
[10] Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
[11] The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
[13] Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
[14] From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
[15] He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
[16] There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
[17] A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
[18] Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
[19] To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
[20] Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: 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 thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
