Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, || [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, || With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Sing to Him a new song, || Play skillfully with shouting.
For the word of YHWH [is] upright, || And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
Loving righteousness and judgment, || The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
By the word of YHWH || The heavens have been made, || And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, || Putting the depths in treasuries.
All the earth is afraid of YHWH, || All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
For He has spoken, and it is, || He has commanded, and it stands.
YHWH made void the counsel of nations, || He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, || The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, || Of the people He chose, || For an inheritance to Him.
YHWH has looked from the heavens, || He has seen all the sons of men.
From the fixed place of His dwelling, || He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
Who is forming their hearts together, || Who is attending to all their works.
The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, || By abundance of power.
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, || And he does not deliver || By the abundance of his strength.
Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, || To those waiting for His kindness,
To deliver their soul from death, || And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul has waited for YHWH, || He [is] our help and our shield,
For our heart rejoices in Him, || For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, || As we have waited for You!
