1 Praise is becoming to the upright. | |
2 Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones; | |
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. | |
3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. | |
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness. | |
5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD. | |
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. | |
7 He gathers the waters of the sea togethera Some versions read in a water skin; i.e. containeras a heap; He lays up the deeps 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 spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and itb Or stood forthstood fast. | |
10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. | |
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. | |
