22 verses · word-for-word from the Hebrew and Greek · free to read

1Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous ones; praise is becoming to the upright ones.

2Give thanks to Jehovah with the lyre; sing to Him with a harp of ten strings.

3Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, with shouts of joy.

4For the Word of Jehovah is right, and all His works are in truth.

5He loves righteousness and judgment; the mercy of Jehovah fills the earth.

6Through the Word of Jehovah the heavens were made; and all their host by the breath of His mouth.

7The waters of the sea were gathered like a heap, giving the depths into storehouses.

8Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all those living in the world stand in awe of Him.

9For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it stood fast.

10Jehovah voids the counsel of the nations, He frustrates the thoughts of the peoples.

11Jehovah's counsel stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to generation and generation.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people He has elected for an inheritance to Him.

13Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He sees all the sons of mankind.

14From His dwelling place He looks on all the ones living in the earth.

15He forms the hearts; His understanding is to all their works.

16The king is not saved by great force; a mighty man is not saved by great strength.

17A horse is a vain thing for safety; and he will not save by his great strength.

18Behold the eye of Jehovah is to those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy;

19to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul waits for Jehovah; He is our help and shield.

21For our heart rejoices in Him because we trust in His holy name.

22Let Your mercy be upon us, O Jehovah, even as we trust in You.
