| 1 | A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. |
| 2 | Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. |
| 3 | Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise. |
| 4 | For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness. |
| 5 | He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. |
| 6 | By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth: |
| 7 | Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses. |
| 8 | Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him. |
| 9 | For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created. |
| 10 | The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes. |
| 11 | But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
| 12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance. |
| 13 | The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men. |
| 14 | From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth. |
| 15 | He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works. |
| 16 | The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength. |
| 17 | Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength. |
| 18 | Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy. |
| 19 | To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine. |
| 20 | Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector. |
| 21 | For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted. |
| 22 | Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee. |
