✧Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him. ✧2Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings. ✧3Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy. ✧4For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy. ✧5The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion. ✧6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth. ✧7He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses. ✧8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him. ✧9For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm. ✧10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples. ✧11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations. ✧12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance! ✧13The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. ✧14From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth. ✧15He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works. ✧16No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength. ✧17A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save. ✧18Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion ✧19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. ✧20Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. ✧21For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name. ✧22May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
