|
|
1 |
Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
|
|
|
2 |
Praise the LORD with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
|
|
3 |
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skilfully with a shout of joy.
|
|
4 |
For the word of the LORD is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
|
|
5 |
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
|
|
6 |
By the word of the LORD the heavens were 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 deep 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 nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
|
|
11 |
The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
|
|
12 |
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
|
|
13 |
The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
|
|
14 |
From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
|
|
15 |
He fashions their hearts individually;
He considers all their works.
|
|
16 |
No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
|
|
17 |
A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
|
|
18 |
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who 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 upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
