Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
1 APs 32:11; Phil 3:1; 4:4Sing for joy in the Loʀᴅ, O you righteous ones;
Praise is BPs 92:1; 147:1becoming to the upright.
2 Give thanks to the Loʀᴅ with the APs 71:22; 147:7lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a BPs 144:9harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a APs 40:3; 96:1; 98:1; 144:9; Is 42:10; Rev 5:9new song;
Play skillfully with BPs 98:4a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the Loʀᴅ APs 19:8is upright,
And all His work is done BPs 119:90in faithfulness.
5 He APs 11:7; 37:28loves righteousness and justice;
The BPs 119:64earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Loʀᴅ.
6 By the AGen 1:6; Ps 148:5; Heb 11:3word of the Loʀᴅ the heavens were made,
And BPs 104:30by the breath of His mouth CGen 2:1all their host.
7 He gathers the AEx 15:8; Josh 3:16; Ps 78:13waters of the sea together 1Some versions read in a water skin; i.e. containeras a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let APs 67:7all the earth fear the Loʀᴅ;
Let all the inhabitants of the world BPs 96:9stand in awe of Him.
9 For AGen 1:3; Ps 148:5He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it 1Or stood forthstood fast.
10 The Loʀᴅ APs 2:1-3; Is 8:10; 19:3nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The AJob 23:12; Prov 19:21counsel of the Loʀᴅ stands forever,
The BPs 40:5; 92:5; 139:17; Is 55:8plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the APs 144:15nation whose God is the Loʀᴅ,
The people whom He has BEx 19:5; Deut 7:6; Ps 28:9chosen for His own inheritance.
13 The Loʀᴅ AJob 28:24; Ps 14:2looks from heaven;
He BPs 11:4sees all the sons of men;
14 From A1 Kin 8:39, 43; Ps 102:19His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
He who B2 Chr 16:9; Job 34:21; Jer 32:19understands all their works.
16 APs 44:6; 60:11The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17 A APs 20:7; 147:10; Prov 21:31horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18 Behold, AJob 36:7; Ps 32:8; 34:15; 1 Pet 3:12the eye of the Loʀᴅ is on those who fear Him,
On those who 1Or waitBPs 32:10; 147:11hope for His lovingkindness,
19 To APs 56:13; Acts 12:11deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive BJob 5:20; Ps 37:19in famine.
20 Our soul APs 62:1; 130:6; Is 8:17waits for the Loʀᴅ;
He is our BPs 115:9help and our shield.
21 For our APs 13:5; 28:7; Zech 10:7; John 16:22heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your lovingkindness, O Loʀᴅ, be upon us,
According as we have 1Or waited forhoped in You.
