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 ^[a]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 ^[b]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 ^[c]have hoped in thee.
