1. Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous ones; praise is becoming for the upright.

2. Praise Jehovah with 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 earth is full of the mercy 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 gathered the waters of the sea like a heap, setting the depths in storehouses.

8. Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the people of the world stand in awe of Him.

9. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood.

10. Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He breaks the plots of the people.

11. The counsel of Jehovah stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

12. Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah; the people He has chosen for His inheritance.

13. Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He beholds all the sons of mankind.

15. Together He forms their hearts; His understanding is to all their works.

16. The king is not saved by a great army; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17. A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither shall he deliver 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 our shield.

21. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we trust in His holy name.

22. Let Your mercy, O Jehovah, be on us, according as we hope in You.
