1
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous,
for to the upright praise is beautiful.
2
Celebrate unto the LORD with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery
and an instrument of ten strings.
3
Sing unto him a new song; play unto excellence with joy.
4
For the word of the LORD
is right, and all his works
are done in truth.
5
He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the LORD.
6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, 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 deeps for treasures.
8
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9
For he spoke, and it was
done; he commanded, and it came into being.
10
The LORD brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nought; he makes the devices of the peoples of no effect.
11
The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
