Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him. |
|
2
|
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings. |
|
3
|
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy. |
|
4
|
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy. |
|
5
|
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion. |
|
6
|
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth. |
|
7
|
He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses. |
|
8
|
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him. |
|
9
|
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm. |
|
10
|
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples. |
|
11
|
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations. |
|
12
|
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance! |
|
13
|
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. |
|
14
|
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth. |
|
15
|
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works. |
|
16
|
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength. |
|
17
|
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save. |
|
18
|
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion |
|
19
|
to deliver them 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 hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name. |
|
22
|
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You. |
