| 1 | Rejoice in the LORD, righteous ones; for the praise of the upright is beautiful. | 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 | With the lyre, give thanks to the LORD; with the ten stringed harp, play music to him; | 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 | with a new song, sing to him; with shouts of joy, play skillfully. | 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 upright; and all his works are 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 world is filled with the gracious love 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 the heavens were made; all the heavenly bodies 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 gathered the oceans into a single place; he put the deep water into 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 world 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 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 | because he spoke and it came to be, because he commanded, it stood firm. | 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 makes void the counsel of nations; he frustrates the plans of peoples. | 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 | But the LORD's counsel stands firm forever, the plans in his mind for 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 | How blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people 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 | When the LORD looks down from heaven, he observes every human being. | 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 down on 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 formed the hearts of them all; he understands everything 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 | A king is not saved by a large army; a mighty soldier is not delivered 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 | It is vain to trust in a horse for deliverance, even with its great strength, it cannot deliver. | 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 | Indeed, the LORD watches those who fear him; those who trust in his gracious love | 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 deliver them from death; to keep them alive in times of 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 on 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 | Indeed, our heart will rejoice in him, because we have placed our trust 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 | LORD, may your gracious love be upon us, even as we hope 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. | |
