📚Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous;
for praise✭ is fitting
for the upright.
2 📚Praise the LORD with a harp.
Sing to him with the lyre,
an instrument of ten strings.
3 📚Sing to him a new song.
Play skillfully with a shout
of joy.
4 📚✭For the word of the LORD
is right,
and all his works are done
in truth.
5 📚He loves righteousness
and justice.
The earth is full of the goodness
of the LORD.
6 📚✭By the word of the LORD
the heavens were made,
and all the host of them by the breath
of his mouth.
7 📚He gathers the waters of the sea
together as a heap.
He lays 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 spoke and it was done;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 📚The LORD brings the counsel
of the nations to nothing.
He makes the plans of the people
of no effect.
11 📚The counsel of the LORD
stands forever,
the thoughts of his heart
to all generations.
12 📚✭Blessed is the nation
whose God is the LORD,
and the people whom
he has chosen as
his own inheritance.
13 📚The LORD looks from heaven;
he sees all the sons of men.
14 📚From his dwelling place
he looks on all the inhabitants
of the earth.
15 📚He forms their hearts
together;
he considers all their deeds.
16 📚No king is saved by the multitude
of an army;
a mighty man is not delivered
by much strength.
17 📚A horse is a vain thing
for safety;
and it cannot deliver anyone
by its great strength.
18 📚See, the eye of the LORD is
on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his mercy,
19 📚✭To deliver their soul
from death,
and to keep them alive
in famine.
20 📚✭Our soul waits for the LORD.
He is our help
and our shield.
21 📚For our heart will rejoice
in him,
because we have trusted
in his holy name.
22 📚Let your mercy,
O LORD, be on us,
just as we hope in you.
