[1] Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
[2] Praise the LORD with harp: sing to him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
[3] Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
[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 goodness 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 an heap: he lays up the depth 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 heathen to nothing: he makes the devices of the people of none effect.
[11] The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
[13] The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
[14] From the place of his habitation he looks on all the inhabitants of the earth.
[15] He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
[16] There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
[17] An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
[18] Behold, the eye of the LORD is on them that fear him, on them that 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 on us, according as we hope in you.
