1 Let the godly sing for joy to theLord;
it is fitting for the pure to praise him.
2 Praise theLordwith melodies on the lyre;
make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
3 Sing a new song of praise to him;
play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.
4 For the word of theLordholds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
5 He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of theLordfills the earth.
6 TheLordmerely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
7 He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
8 Let the whole world fear theLord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9 For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
10 TheLordfrustrates the plans of the nations
and thwarts all their schemes.
11 But theLord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.
12 What joy for the nation whose God is theLord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
13 TheLordlooks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14 From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
15 He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18 But theLordwatches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19 He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
20 We put our hope in theLord.
He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your unfailing love surround us,Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.
