| 1. | Rejoice, you just, in the LORD; praise from the upright is fitting. |
| 2. | Give thanks to the LORD on the harp; on the ten-stringed lyre offer praise. |
| 3. | Sing to God a new song; skillfully play with joyful chant. |
| 4. | For the LORD'S word is true; all his works are trustworthy. |
| 5. | The LORD loves justice and right and fills the earth with goodness. |
| 6. | By the LORD'S word the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host. |
| 7. | The waters of the sea were gathered as in a bowl; in cellars the deep was confined. |
| 8. | Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all who dwell in the world show reverence. |
| 9. | For he spoke, and it came to be, commanded, and it stood in place. |
| 10. | The LORD foils the plan of nations, frustrates the designs of peoples. |
| 11. | But the plan of the LORD stands forever, wise designs through all generations. |
| 12. | Happy the nation whose God is the LORD, the people chosen as his very own. |
| 13. | From heaven the LORD looks down and observes the whole human race, |
| 14. | Surveying from the royal throne all who dwell on earth. |
| 15. | The one who fashioned the hearts of them all knows all their works. |
| 16. | A king is not saved by a mighty army, nor a warrior delivered by great strength. |
| 17. | Useless is the horse for safety; its great strength, no sure escape. |
| 18. | But the LORD'S eyes are upon the reverent, upon those who hope for his gracious help, |
| 19. | Delivering them from death, keeping them alive in times of famine. |
| 20. | Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and shield. |
| 21. | For in God our hearts rejoice; in your holy name we trust. |
| 22. | May your kindness, LORD, be upon us; we have put our hope in you. |
