1 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!

Praise befits the upright.

2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;

make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!

3 Sing to him a new song;

play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

4 For the word of the Lord is upright,

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord 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 puts the deeps 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 came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;

he frustrates the plans of the peoples.

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 whom he has chosen as his heritage!

13 The Lord looks down from heaven;

he sees all the children of man;

14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out

on all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 he who fashions the hearts of them all

and observes all their deeds.

16 The king is not saved by his great army;

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,

and by its great might it cannot rescue.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

on those who hope in his steadfast love,

19 that he may deliver their soul from death

and keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

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 steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,

even as we hope in you.

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.

1 Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord;

it is fitting for the pure to praise him.

2 Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;

make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.

3 Sing a new song of praise to him;

play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.

4 For the word of the Lord holds true,

and we can trust everything he does.

5 He loves whatever is just and good;

the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

6 The Lord merely spoke,

and the heavens were created.

He breathed the word,

and all the stars were born.

7 He assigned the sea its boundaries

and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.

8 Let the whole world fear the Lord,

and let everyone stand in awe of him.

9 For when he spoke, the world began!

It appeared at his command.

10 The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations

and thwarts all their schemes.

11 But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;

his intentions can never be shaken.

12 What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,

whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

13 The Lord looks down from heaven

and sees the whole human race.

14 From his throne he observes

all who live on the earth.

15 He made their hearts,

so he understands everything they do.

16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,

nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.

17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—

for all its strength, it cannot save you.

18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,

those who rely on his unfailing love.

19 He rescues them from death

and keeps them alive in times of famine.

20 We put our hope in the Lord.

He is our help and our shield.

21 In him our hearts rejoice,

for we trust in his holy name.

22 Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,

for our hope is in you alone.

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 skillfully 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.

1 Sing to the Lord, you who do what is right;

honest people should praise him.

2 Praise the Lord on the harp;

make music for him on a ten-stringed lyre.

3 Sing a new song to him;

play well and joyfully.

4 God’s word is true,

and everything he does is right.

5 He loves what is right and fair;

the Lord’s love fills the earth.

6 The sky was made at the Lord’s command.

By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.

7 He gathered the water of the sea into a heap.

He made the great ocean stay in its place.

8 All the earth should worship the Lord;

the whole world should fear him.

9 He spoke, and it happened.

He commanded, and it appeared.

10 The Lord upsets the plans of nations;

he ruins all their plans.

11 But the Lord’s plans will stand forever;

his ideas will last from now on.

12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,

the people he chose for his very own.

13 The Lord looks down from heaven

and sees every person.

14 From his throne he watches

all who live on earth.

15 He made their hearts

and understands everything they do.

16 No king is saved by his great army.

No warrior escapes by his great strength.

17 Horses can’t bring victory;

they can’t save by their strength.

18 But the Lord looks after those who fear him,

those who put their hope in his love.

19 He saves them from death

and spares their lives in times of hunger.

20 So our hope is in the Lord.

He is our help, our shield to protect us.

21 We rejoice in him,

because we trust his holy name.

22 Lord, show your love to us

as we put our hope in you.

Play beautifully and joyfully on stringed instruments.

6 The heavens were made by the Lord’s word 

and all the stars by the breath of his mouth. 

7 He gathers the water in the sea like a dam 

and puts the oceans in his storehouses. 

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord.

Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own. 

13 The Lord looks down from heaven. 

He sees all of Adam’s descendants. 

14 From the place where he sits enthroned, 

he looks down upon all who live on earth. 

15 The one who formed their hearts 

understands everything they do. 

16 No king achieves a victory with a large army. 

No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength. 

17 Horses are not a guarantee for victory. 

Their great strength cannot help someone escape. 

18 The Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him, 

on those who wait with hope for his mercy 

19 to rescue their souls from death 

and keep them alive during a famine.

from His dwelling place.

15 He alone shapes their hearts;

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

and all their host by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;

he put the deeps 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 came to be;

all the inhabitants of the earth—

15 he who fashions the hearts of them all,

and observes all their deeds.

16 A king is not saved by his great army;

17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,

and by its great might it cannot save.

18 Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

on those who hope in his steadfast love,

19 to deliver their soul from death,

He put 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 himself spoke and it came to pass.

He himself commanded and it stood firm.

10 Yahweh brings to nothing the plan of nations;

he frustrates the intents of peoples.

11 The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever,

the intents of his heart from one generation to the next.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,

the people he has chosen for his inheritance.

13 From heaven Yahweh looks;

he sees all the children of humankind.

14 From his dwelling place he gazes

on all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 he who fashions altogether their heart,

he who understands all their works.

16 The king is not saved by the greatness of an army.

The warrior is not delivered by the greatness of strength.

17 The horse is a false hope for victory,

nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him,

3 Sing a new song to him.

Play with skill, and shout with joy.

4 What the Lord says is right and true.

He is faithful in everything he does.

5 The Lord loves what is right and fair.

The earth is full of his faithful love.

6 The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen.

All of the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together.

He puts the oceans in their places.

8 Let the whole earth have respect for the Lord.

Let all of the people in the world honor him.

9 He spoke, and the world came into being.

He commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The Lord blocks the sinful plans of the nations.

He keeps them from doing what they want to do.

11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever.

What he wants to do will last for all time.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.

13 From heaven the Lord looks down

and sees everyone.

14 From his throne he watches

all those who live on the earth.

15 He creates the hearts of all people.

He is aware of everything they do.

16 A king isn’t saved just because his army is big.

A soldier doesn’t escape just because he is very strong.

17 People can’t trust a horse to save them either.

Though it is very strong, it can’t save them.

18 But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him.

He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.

19 He watches over them to save them from death.

He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land.

20 We wait in hope for the Lord.

He helps us. He is like a shield that keeps us safe.

21 Our hearts are full of joy because of him.

We trust in him, because he is holy.

22 Lord, may your faithful love rest on us.

We put our hope in you.

The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;

He lays up the deeps 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 nullifies the counsel of the nations;

He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,

The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

13 The Lord looks from heaven;

He sees all the sons of men;

14 From His dwelling place He looks out

On all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 He who fashions 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 victory;

Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

On those who hope for His lovingkindness,

19 To deliver their soul from death

And to keep them alive in famine.

21 For our heart rejoices in Him,

Because we trust in His holy name.

22 Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,

According as we have hoped in You.
