Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.

For the word of the Lord is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.

The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,

Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.

Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.

For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.

The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.

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

From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.

A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
