Rejoice
in the LORD,
O ye righteous:
for praise
is comely
for the upright.
Praise
the LORD
with harp:
sing
unto him with the psaltery
and an instrument of ten strings.
Sing
unto him a new
song;
play
skilfully
with a loud noise.
For the word
of the LORD
is right;
and all his works
are done in truth.
He loveth
righteousness
and judgment:
the earth
is full
of the goodness
of the LORD.
By the word
of the LORD
were the heavens
made;
and all the host
of them by the breath
of his mouth.
He gathereth
the waters
of the sea
together as an heap:
he layeth up
the depth
in storehouses.
Let all the earth
fear
the LORD:
let all the inhabitants
of the world
stand in awe
of him.
For he spake,
and it was done; he commanded,
and it stood fast.
The LORD
bringeth
the counsel
of the heathen
to nought:
he maketh
the devices
of the people
of none effect.
The counsel
of the LORD
standeth
for ever,
the thoughts
of his heart
to all
generations.
Blessed
is the nation
whose God
is the LORD;
and the people
whom he hath chosen
for his own inheritance.
The LORD
looketh
from heaven;
he beholdeth
all the sons
of men.
From the place
of his habitation
he looketh
upon all the inhabitants
of the earth.
He fashioneth
their hearts
alike;
he considereth
all their works.
There is no king
saved
by the multitude
of an host:
a mighty man
is not delivered
by much
strength.
An horse
is a vain thing
for safety:
neither shall he deliver
any by his great
strength.
Behold, the eye
of the LORD
is upon them that fear
him, upon them that hope
in his mercy;
To deliver
their soul
from death,
and to keep them alive
in famine.
Our soul
waiteth
for the LORD:
he is our help
and our shield.
For our heart
shall rejoice
in him, because we have trusted
in his holy
name.
Let thy mercy,
O LORD,
be upon us, according as we hope
in thee.
