1Sing joyously to the Lord, you righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to offer praise.
2Extol the Lord with a harp; sing to Him with a ten-stringed lyre.
3Sing to Him a new song; play well with sounds of jubilation.
4For the word of the Lord is just; all His deeds are done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice; the kindness of the Lord fills the earth.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their hosts.
7He gathers the waters of the sea like a mound; He places the deep waters in vaults.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world tremble before Him.
9For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it endured.
10The Lord has annulled the counsel of nations; He has foiled the schemes of peoples.
11The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations.
12Fortunate is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose as a heritage for Himself.
13The Lord looks down from heaven; He beholds all mankind.
14From His dwelling-place He looks intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15It is He Who fashions the hearts of them all, Who perceives all their actions.
16The king is not saved by a great army, nor a warrior rescued by great might.
17The horse is a false guarantee for victory; with all its great strength it offers no escape.
18But the eye of the Lord is directed toward those who fear Him, toward those who hope for His kindness,
19to save their soul from death and to sustain them during famine.
20Our soul yearns for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in Him, for we have put our trust in His Holy Name.
22May Your kindness, Lord, be upon us, as we have placed our hope in You.
