1 You godly ones, shout for joy because of the LORD! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise. 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 harp! Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument! 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 as you shout out your praises to him! 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 LORD's decrees are just, and everything he does is fair. 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 The LORD promotes equity and justice; the LORD's faithfulness extends throughout the earth. 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 LORD's decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created. 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 piles up the water of the sea; he puts the oceans 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 the whole earth fear the LORD! Let all who live in 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 came into existence, he issued the decree, and 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 frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the 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 The LORD's decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages. 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 whom he has chosen to be his special possession. 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 watches from heaven; he sees all people. 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 the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth's inhabitants. 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 is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions. 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 No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might. 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 disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite 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 Look, the LORD takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness 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 by saving their lives from death and sustaining them during 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 for the LORD; he is our deliverer and 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 our hearts rejoice in him, for we 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 May we experience your faithfulness, O LORD, for we wait for 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.
