King James Version KJV
1 ejoice in ADONAI, you righteous! Praise is well-suited to the upright.
1
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Give thanks to ADONAI with the lyre, sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp.
2
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song, make music at your best among shouts of joy.
3
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of ADONAI is true, and all his work is trustworthy.
4
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the grace of ADONAI.
5
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of ADONAI the heavens were made, and their whole host by a breath from his mouth.
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 collects the sea waters together in a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.
7
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear ADONAI! Let all living in the world stand in awe of him.
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 there it was; he commanded, and there it stood.
9
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 ADONAI brings to nothing the plans of nations, he foils the plans of the peoples.
10
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 But the counsel of ADONAI stands forever, his heart's plans are for all generations.
11
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 How blessed is the nation whose God is ADONAI, the people he chose as his heritage!
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 ADONAI looks out from heaven; he sees every human being;
13
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 from the place where he lives he watches everyone living on earth,
14
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 he who fashioned the hearts of them all and understands all they do.
15
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 A king is not saved by the size of his army, a strong man not delivered by his great strength.
16
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 To rely on a horse for safety is vain, nor does its great power assure escape.
17
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 But ADONAI's eyes watch over those who fear him, over those who wait for his grace
18
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.
19
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 We are waiting for ADONAI; he is our help and shield.
20
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21 For in him our hearts rejoice, because we trust in his holy name.
21
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 May your mercy, ADONAI, be over us, because we put our hope in you.
22
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
