1Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
2Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
2Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
3Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
5The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
5He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
9For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
12Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
13The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
13The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
14From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
16No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
16A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
18Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
20Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
22May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
22Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
