Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones; praise from the upright is beautiful.1You godly ones, shout for joy because of the LORD! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise.
2Praise the LORD with the lyre; make music to him with a ten-stringed harp.2Give thanks to the LORD with the harp! Sing to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument!
3Sing a new song to him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.3Sing to him a new song! Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him!
4For the word of the LORD is right, and all his work is trustworthy.4For the LORD's decrees are just, and everything he does is fair.
5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the LORD's unfailing love.5The LORD promotes equity and justice; the LORD's faithfulness extends throughout the earth.
6The heavens were made by the word of the LORD, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.6By the LORD's decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.
7He gathers the water of the sea into a heap; he puts the depths into storehouses.7He piles up the water of the sea; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
8Let the whole earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.8Let the whole earth fear the LORD! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!
9For he spoke, and it came into being; he commanded, and it came into existence.9For he spoke, and it came into existence, he issued the decree, and it stood firm.
10The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.10The LORD frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation.11The LORD's decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD--the people he has chosen to be his own possession!12How blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession.
13The LORD looks down from heaven; he observes everyone.13The LORD watches from heaven; he sees all people.
14He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from his dwelling place.14From the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth's inhabitants.
15He forms the hearts of them all; he considers all their works.15He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions.
16A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.16No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might.
17The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.17A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
18But look, the LORD keeps his eye on those who fear him--those who depend on his faithful love18Look, the LORD takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness
19to rescue them from death and to keep them alive in famine.19by saving their lives from death and sustaining them during times of famine.
20We wait for the LORD; he is our help and shield.20We wait for the LORD; he is our deliverer and shield.
21For our hearts rejoice in him because we trust in his holy name.21For our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
22May your faithful love rest on us, LORD, for we put our hope in you.22May we experience your faithfulness, O LORD, for we wait for you.
