1Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous:
2Praise the Lord with harp:
3Sing unto him a new song;
4For the word of the Lord is right;
5He loveth righteousness and judgment:
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:
8Let all the earth fear the Lord:
9For he spake, and it was done;
10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:
11The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;
13The Lord looketh from heaven;
14From the place of his habitation he looketh
15He fashioneth their hearts alike;
16There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:
17A horse is a vain thing for safety:
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,
19To deliver their soul from death,
20Our soul waiteth for the Lord:
21For our heart shall rejoice in him,
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
