| 1 |
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright. |
| 2 |
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute. |
| 3 |
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound. |
| 4 |
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness. |
| 5 |
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness 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 storehouses. |
| 8 |
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; 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 |
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect. |
| 11 |
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation. |
| 12 |
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance! |
| 13 |
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; 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 who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works. |
| 16 |
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. |
| 17 |
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power. |
| 18 |
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness, |
| 19 |
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
| 20 |
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield. |
| 21 |
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name. |
| 22 |
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee. |
