| Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely. | 1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. |
| 2 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him, | 2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. |
| 3 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting. | 3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. |
| 4 For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness. | 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. |
| 5 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full. | 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. |
| 6 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. | 6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. |
