1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character]. Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings. Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin; He puts the deeps in storehouses. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear and worship the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He makes the thoughts and plans of the people ineffective. The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 The LORD looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man; The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
14 From His dwelling place He looks closely Upon all the inhabitants of the earth— from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—
15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers and understands all that they do. he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16 The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength. The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness, Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine. that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait [expectantly] for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21 For in Him our heart rejoices, Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, In proportion as we have hoped in You. Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you. May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
