¹ Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous ones ; praise is becoming to the upright.² Give thanks to Jehovah with the lyre; sing to Him with a harp of ten strings.³ Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, with shouts of joy.⁴ For the Word of Jehovah is right, and all His works are in truth.⁵ He loves righteousness and judgment; the mercy of Jehovah fills the earth.⁶ Through the Word of Jehovah the heavens were made; and all their host were made by the breath of His mouth.⁷ The waters of the sea were gathered like a heap, setting the depths in storehouses.⁸ Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all those living in the world stand in awe of Him.⁹ For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it stood fast.¹⁰ Jehovah voids the counsel of the nations, He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.¹¹ Jehovah's counsel stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people He has elected for His inheritance.¹³ Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He sees all the sons of mankind.¹⁴ From His dwellingplace He looks on all the ones living in the earth.¹⁵ He forms the heart; He understands all their works.¹⁶ The king is not saved by great force; a mighty man is not saved by great strength.¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety; nor does he save by his great strength.¹⁸ Behold the eye of Jehovah is to 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 Jehovah; He is our help and shield.²¹ For our heart rejoices in Him because we trust in His holy name.²² Let Your mercy be upon us, O Jehovah, even as we trust in You.
