1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, for it becometh well the just to be thankful.
2Praise the LORD with harp: sing psalms unto him with the lute and instrument of ten strings.
3Sing him a new song, yea sing lustily unto him, and with a good courage.
4For the word of the LORD is true, and all his works are faithful.
5He loveth mercy and judgment, the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, and all the Hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathereth the waters together as it were in a bottle, and layeth up the deep in secret.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD, and let all them that dwell in the world, stand(stode) in awe of him.
9For look what he sayeth, it is done: and look what he commandeth, it standeth fast.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the Heathen to naught, and turneth the devices of the people.
11But the counsel of the LORD endureth, and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed are the people that hold the LORD for their God, and blessed are the folk whom he hath chosen to be his heritage.
13The LORD looketh down from heaven, and beholdeth all the children of men:
14from his strong seat he considereth all them that dwell in the world.
15He only hath fashioned all the hearts of them, and knoweth all their works.
16A king is not helped by his own great host, neither is a giant saved thorow the might of his own strength.
17A horse is but a vain thing to save a man, it is not the power of his strength that can deliver him.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD looketh unto them that fear him, and put their trust in his mercy.
19That he may deliver their souls from death, and to feed them in the deare time.
20Let our soul patiently abide the LORD, for he is our help and shield.
21So shall our heart rejoice in him, because we have hoped in his holy name.
22Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, like as we put our trust in thee.
