1Rejoice in the Lord , O you righteous![#Ps. 32:11; 97:12; Phil. 3:1; 4:4]
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord .
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,[#Gen. 1:6, 7; Ps. 148:5; (Heb. 11:3; 2 Pet. 3:5)]
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;[#Gen. 1:9; Job 26:10; 38:8]
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord ;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done;[#Gen. 1:3; Ps. 148:5]
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;[#(Ps. 2:1–3); Is. 8:10; 19:3]
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever,[#(Job 23:13; Prov. 19:21)]
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
13The Lord looks from heaven;[#Job 28:24; (Ps. 14:2)]
He sees all the sons of men.
14From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He fashions their hearts individually;
He considers all their works.
16No king is saved by the multitude of an army;[#Ps. 44:6; 60:11; (Jer. 9:23, 24)]
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a vain hope for safety;[#(Ps. 20:7; 147:10; Prov. 21:31)]
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,[#(Job 36:7); Ps. 32:8; 34:15; (1 Pet. 3:12)]
On those who hope in His mercy,
19To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the Lord ;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22Let Your mercy, O Lord , be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
