| 1 | Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. |
| 2 | Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. |
| 3 | Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy! |
| 4 | For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. |
| 5 | He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh. |
| 6 | By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made, All the host of them by the breath of his mouth. |
| 7 | He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. |
| 8 | Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
| 9 | For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. |
| 10 | Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. |
| 11 | The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
| 12 | Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. |
| 13 | Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. |
| 14 | From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth. |
| 15 | He who fashions all of their hearts. He considers all of their works. |
| 16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. |
| 17 | A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power. |
| 18 | Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his lovingkindness; |
| 19 | To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine. |
| 20 | Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. |
| 21 | For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. |
| 22 | Let your lovingkindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you. Psalm 34 By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. |
