1
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous! For praise is comely for the upright.
2
Praise the LORD with the harp; sing unto Him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3
Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4
For the word of the LORD is right, and all His works are done in truth.
5
He loveth righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the goodness 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 gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deep 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 was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought; He maketh the devices of the people of no effect.
11
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
