 ¹Rejoice in Yahvah, you righteous; for praise is pleasing for the upright.
²Praise Yahvah with harp and guitar; sing praises to him with a harp of 10 strings.
³Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a beautiful rhythm.

⁴For the word of Yahvah is right; and all his works are done in truth.
⁵He loves righteousness and judgment; the land is full of the goodness of Yahvah.

⁶By the word of Yahvah the skies were made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
⁷The waters of the sea he gathers together as in a heap of waterskins; he lays up the depths in storehouses.

⁸Let all the land fear Yahvah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
⁹For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰Yahvah brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nothing; Yahvah makes the devices of the people of no effect.
¹¹The counsel of Yahvah stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
¹²Blessed is the nation whose god is Yahvah; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

¹³Yahvah looks from the skies; he beholds all the sons of men.
¹⁴From his throne he looks on all the inhabitants of the land.
¹⁵He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
¹⁶The king is not saved by the multitude of a host; nor does a mighty man deliver by great strength.
¹⁷A horse is a false thing for salvation; nor will it deliver its rider by its great strength.

¹⁸Look, the eye of Yahvah is on the righteous, on those who hope in his mercy,
¹⁹to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul waits for Yahvah; he is our help and our shield.
²¹For our hearts will rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
²²Let your mercy, Yahvah, be on us, according to our hope in you.
