| | 1 | Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. | |
| | 2 | Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. | |
| | 3 | Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. | |
| | 4 | For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. | |
| | 5 | He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. | |
| | 6 | By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. | |
| | 7 | 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. | |
| | 9 | For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. | |
| | 10 | The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. | |
| | 11 | 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; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. | |
| | 13 | The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. | |
| | 14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. | |
| | 15 | He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. | |
| | 16 | There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. | |
| | 17 | 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 upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; | |
| | 19 | To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. | |
| | 20 | Our soul waiteth for the LORD: 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 thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. | |
