MLV(i)
1 Rejoice in Jehovah, O you* righteous ones. Praise is becoming for the upright.
2 Give thanks to Jehovah with the harp. Sing praises to him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 Because the word of Jehovah is right and all his work is done in faithfulness. 5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Jehovah.
6 The heavens made were by the word of Jehovah and 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 depths in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 Because he spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.
10 Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. 11 The counsel of Jehovah stands fast everlasting, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 The nation whose God is Jehovah is fortunate, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Jehovah looks from heaven. He beholds all the sons of men. 14 From the place of his habitation he looks forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth; 15 he who fashions the hearts of them all, who considers all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. 17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, nor does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear him, upon those who hope in his loving kindness, 19 to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for Jehovah. He is our help and our shield. 21 Because our heart will rejoice in him because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your loving kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, just-as we have hoped in you.
