Praise to the Creator

¹Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.+ ²Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.+ ³Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!+ ⁴For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.+ ⁵He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.+ ⁶By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.+ ⁷He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.+ ⁸Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.+ ⁹For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.+ ¹⁰Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.+ ¹¹The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.+ ¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.+ ¹³Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.+ ¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,+ ¹⁵he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.+ ¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.+ ¹⁷A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.+ ¹⁸Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;+ ¹⁹to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.+ ²⁰Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.+ ²¹For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.+ ²²Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.+
