[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 is done in 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.
