1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. |
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. |
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. |
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. |
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. |
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. |
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. |
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. |
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. |
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
