1 Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD; it is fitting for the pure to praise him. 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 Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp. 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 a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. 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 holds true, and we can trust everything he does. 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 whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills 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 The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. 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 assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs. 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 world fear the LORD, and let everyone 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 when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command. 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 plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. 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 plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken. 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 What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen as his 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 and sees the whole human race. 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 throne he observes all who live on 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 made their hearts, so 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 The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. 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 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you. 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 But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing 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 He rescues them from death and keeps 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 put our hope in 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 In him our hearts rejoice, 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 Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. 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.
