[1] Sing for joy in Yahweh, O righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. [2] Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. [3] Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a loud shout. [4] For the word of Yahweh is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness. [5] He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh. [6] By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. [7] He gathers the waters of the sea 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; He commanded, and it stood. [10] Yahweh nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples. [11] The counsel of Yahweh stands forever, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation. [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 gazes On all the inhabitants of the earth, [15] He who forms the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. [16] The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. [17] A horse is a false hope for salvation; Nor does it provide escape to anyone by its great strength. [18] Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear Him, On those who wait for His lovingkindness, [19] To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine. [20] Our soul is patient for Yahweh; He is our help and our shield. [21] For our heart is glad in Him, Because we trust in His holy name. [22] Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us, As we wait for You.
