|
|
1 |
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is
comely for the upright.
|
|
|
2 |
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the
psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
|
|
3 |
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud
noise. |
|
4 |
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works
are done in truth.
|
|
5 |
He loveth 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 gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:
he layeth 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 spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it
stood fast. |
|
10 |
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:
he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
|
|
11 |
The counsel of the LORD standeth 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 hath chosen for his own inheritance.
|
|
13 |
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons
of men. |
|
14 |
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all
the inhabitants of the earth.
|
|
15 |
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth 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 upon them that fear him,
upon them that hope in his mercy;
|
|
19 |
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them
alive in famine.
|
|
20 |
Our soul waiteth 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 thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope
in thee. |
