¹Shout for joy to the LORD, you who do right!
It is good for honest people to praise him. ²Praise the LORD with the harp.
Make music to him on a harp with ten strings. ³Sing to him a new song.
Play well, and shout for joy. ⁴For the word of the LORD is right and true.
Everything he does can be trusted. ⁵The LORD loves what is right and fair.
The earth is full of his faithful love. ⁶The heavens were made by the word of the LORD.
All the stars were made by the breath of his mouth. ⁷He piles up the waters of the sea.
He puts the deep waters into storerooms. ⁸Let all the earth fear the LORD.
Let all the people of the world stand in awe of him. ⁹For he spoke, and it came to be.
He gave the command, and it stood firm. ¹⁰The LORD ruins the plans of the nations.
He stops the plans of the peoples. ¹¹But the plans of the LORD stand forever.
The purposes of his heart last for all generations. ¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose to be his own! ¹³The LORD looks down from heaven.
He sees all people. ¹⁴From the place where he lives
he watches all who live on the earth. ¹⁵He shapes the heart of each one.
He notices everything they do. ¹⁶No king is saved by his huge army.
No soldier is rescued by his great strength. ¹⁷It is useless to hope a horse will save you.
Even its great strength cannot save. ¹⁸But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him.
They are on those who hope in his faithful love. ¹⁹He watches them to save them from death
and keep them alive when there is no food. ²⁰Our souls wait for the LORD.
He is our help and our shield. ²¹For our hearts are full of joy in him,
since we trust in his holy name. ²²LORD, may your faithful love rest on us,
as we put our hope in you.
