1 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones! Praise is fitting for the upright.

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; sing praises to Him with a ten-stringed instrument.

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully and shout with joy.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all His works are done in faithfulness.

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 Lord’s faithful love.

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea like a heap; He puts the depths into storehouses.

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.

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 came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10 The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; He thwarts the plans of the peoples.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11 The Lord’s counsel stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His inheritance.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13 From heaven the Lord looks down; He sees all the children of men.

The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14 From His dwelling place, He watches all who live on the earth.

From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He forms the hearts of them all; He understands all their deeds.

He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16 A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory, and its great strength does not provide escape.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19 To deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive during famine.

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.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

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

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22 May Your faithful love, Lord, rest upon us, just as we hope in You.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
