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! |
