1Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous!
Praise is fitting for the upright.
2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre.
Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song.
Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4For the Lord’s word is right.
All His work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the loving kindness of the Lord.
6By the Lord’s word, the heavens were made:
all their army by the breath of His mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap.
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done.
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing.
He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11The counsel of the Lord stands fast forever,
the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
13The Lord looks from heaven.
He sees all the sons of men.
14From the place of His habitation He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He who fashions all of their hearts;
and He considers all of their works.
16There is no king saved by the multitude of an army.
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety,
neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18Behold, the Lord’s eye is on those who fear Him,
on those who hope in His loving kindness,
19to deliver their soul from death,
to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul has waited for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart rejoices in Him,
because we have trusted in His holy name.
22Let Your loving kindness be on us, Lord,
since we have hoped in You.
1Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio. 2Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi. 3Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione. 4Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide. 5Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra. 6Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum. 7Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris; ponens in thesauris abyssos. 8Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem. 9Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt. 10Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum. 11Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem. 12Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in hæreditatem sibi. 13De cælo respexit Dominus; vidit omnes filios hominum. 14De præparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes qui habitant terram: 15qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum. 16Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ. 17Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur. 18Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus: 19ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame. 20Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est. 21Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus. 22Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.
