[1] Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
[2] Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
[3] Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
[4] For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
[5] Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
[6] By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
[7] Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
[8] Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
[9] For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
[10] Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
[11] The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
[12] O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
[13] From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
[14] From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
[15] Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
[16] The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
[17] A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
[18] Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
[19] To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
[20] Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
[21] For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
[22] Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
