Praise to the Creator

1(32:1) A Psalm of David. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becomes the upright.

2(32:2) Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a psaltery of ten strings.

3(32:3) Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.

4(32:4) For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.

5(32:5) He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.

6(32:6) By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7(32:7) Who gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.

8(32:8) Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.

9(32:9) For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

10(32:10) The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nought also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nought the counsels of princes.

11(32:11) But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

12(32:12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

13(32:13) The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.

14(32:14) He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;

15(32:15) who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.

16(32:16) A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.

17(32:17) A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.

18(32:18) Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;

19(32:19) to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20(32:20) Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.

21(32:21) For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.

22(32:22) Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
