1
|
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: praise is comely for the upright. |
|
|
|
2
|
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery an instrument of ten strings. |
|
|
|
3
|
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. |
|
|
|
4
|
For the word of the LORD right; and all his works in truth. |
|
|
|
5
|
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. |
|
|
|
6
|
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. |
|
|
|
7
|
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. |
|
|
|
8
|
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
|
|
|
9
|
For he spake, and it was ; he commanded, and it stood fast. |
|
|
|
10
|
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. |
|
|
|
11
|
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
|
|
|
12
|
Blessed the nation whose God the LORD; the people he hath chosen for his own inheritance. |
|
|
|
13
|
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. |
|
|
|
14
|
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. |
|
|
|
15
|
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. |
|
|
|
16
|
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. |
|
|
|
17
|
An horse a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver by his great strength. |
|
|
|
18
|
Behold, the eye of the LORD upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; |
|
|
|
19
|
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
|
|
|
20
|
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he our help and our shield. |
|
|
|
21
|
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. |
|
|
|
22
|
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. |
