1 | Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely. |
2 | Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him, |
3 | Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting. |
4 | For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness. |
5 | Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full. |
6 | By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. |
7 | Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths. |
8 | Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid. |
9 | For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth. |
10 | Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples. |
11 | The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations. |
12 | O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him. |
13 | From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men. |
14 | From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth; |
15 | Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works. |
16 | The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power. |
17 | A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver. |
18 | Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness, |
19 | To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine. |
20 | Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He, |
21 | For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted. |
22 | Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee! |
