The Book of Psalms

Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous [ones]; praise is becoming to the upright.

Give thanks to Jehovah with the lyre; sing to Him with a harp of ten strings.

Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, with shouts of joy.

For the word of Jehovah [is] right, and all His works [are] in truth.

[He] loves righteousness and judgment; the mercy of Jehovah fills the earth.

The waters of the sea were gathered like a heap, setting the depths in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all dwellers in the world stand in awe of Him.

For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it stood fast.

Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

Jehovah's counsel stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, the people He has chosen for His inheritance.

Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He sees all the sons of mankind.

From His dwellingplace He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth.

He forms the heart; He understands all their works.

The king is not saved by great force; a mighty man is not saved by great strength.

A horse [is] a vain thing for safety; nor does he save by his great strength.

Behold the eye of Jehovah [is] to those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy;

to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for Jehovah; He [is] our help and shield.

For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name.

Let Your mercy be upon us, O Jehovah, even as we trust in You.
