| 1 | Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely for the upright. |
| 2 | Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings. |
| 3 | Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. |
| 4 | For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth. |
| 5 | He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. |
| 6 | By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. |
| 7 | He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. |
| 8 | Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
| 9 | For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast. |
| 10 | The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. |
| 11 | 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; [and] the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance. |
| 13 | The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. |
| 14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. |
| 15 | He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. |
| 16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. |
| 17 | An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength. |
| 18 | Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; |
| 19 | To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
| 20 | Our soul waiteth for the LORD: 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 thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. |
