| 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. | |
