¹ Rejoice in Yahweh, O you righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.² Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp: Sing praises to him with the psaltery of ten strings.³ Sing to him a new song; Play skillfully with a loud noise.⁴ For the word of Yahweh is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.⁵ He loves righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the loving-kindness of Yahweh.⁶ By the word of Yahweh were the heavens 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 deeps in store-houses.⁸ Let all the earth fear Yahweh: 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 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.¹¹ The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.¹³ Yahweh looks from heaven; He beholds all the sons of man;¹⁴ From the place of his habitation he looks forth On all the inhabitants of the earth,¹⁵ He that fashions the hearts of them all, That considers all their works.¹⁶ There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither does he deliver any by his great power.¹⁸ Look, the eye of Yahweh is on those that fear him, On those that hope in his loving-kindness;¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.²⁰ Our soul has waited for Yahweh: 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 loving-kindness, O Yahweh, be on us, According to as we have hoped in you.
