1
Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous. Praise befits the upright.
2
Praise the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
3
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses.
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 came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
