1. |
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! |
