[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.
