Dual Panel1You godly ones <06662>, shout for joy <07442> because of the Lord <03068>! It is appropriate <05000> for the morally upright <03477> to offer him praise <08416>.
2Give thanks <03034> to the Lord <03068> with the harp <03658>! Sing <02167> to him to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed <06218> instrument <05035>!
3Sing <07891> to him a new <02319> song <07892>! Play <05059> skillfully <03190> as you shout <08643> out your praises to him!
4For <03588> the Lord’s <03068> decrees <01697> are just <03477>, and everything <03605> he does <04639> is fair <0530>.
5The Lord promotes <0157> equity <06666> and justice <04941>; the Lord’s <03068> faithfulness <02617> extends <04390> throughout the earth <0776>.
6By the Lord’s <03068> decree <01697> the heavens <08064> were made <06213>; by a mere word <07307> from his mouth <06310> all <03605> the stars in the sky were created <06635>.
7He piles up <03664> the water <04325> of the sea <03220>; he puts <05414> the oceans <08415> in storehouses <0214>.
8Let the whole <03605> earth <0776> fear <03372> the Lord <03068>! Let all <03605> who live <03427> in <04480> the world <08398> stand in awe <01481> of him!
9For <03588> he <01931> spoke <0559>, and it came into existence <01961>, he <01931> issued the decree <06680>, and it stood <05975> firm.
10The Lord <03068> frustrates <06331> the decisions <06098> of the nations <01471>; he nullifies <05106> the plans <04284> of the peoples <05971>.
11The Lord’s <03068> decisions <06098> stand <05975> forever <05769>; his plans <04284> abide throughout the ages <01755> <01755>.
12How blessed <0835> is the nation <01471> whose <0834> God <0430> is the Lord <03068>, the people <05971> whom he has chosen <0977> to be his special possession <05159>.
13The Lord <03068> watches <05027> from heaven <08064>; he sees <07200> all <03605> people <0120> <01121>.
14From the place <04349> where he lives <03427> he looks <07688> carefully at <0413> all <03605> the earth’s <0776> inhabitants <03427>.
15He is the one who forms <03335> every human heart <03820>, and takes note <0995> of <0413> all <03605> their actions <04639>.
16No <0369> king <04428> is delivered <03467> by his vast <07230> army <02428>; a warrior <01368> is not <03808> saved <05337> by his great <07230> might <03581>.
17A horse <05483> disappoints <08267> those who trust in it for victory <08668>; despite its great <07230> strength <02428>, it cannot <03808> deliver <04422>.
18Look <02009>, the Lord <03068> takes notice <05869> of <0413> his loyal followers <03373>, those who wait <03176> for him to demonstrate his faithfulness <02617>
19by saving <05337> their lives <05315> from death <04194> and sustaining <02421> them during times of famine <07458>.
20We <05315> wait <02442> for the Lord <03068>; he <01931> is our deliverer <05828> and shield <04043>.
21For <03588> our hearts <03820> rejoice <08055> in him, for <03588> we trust <0982> in his holy <06944> name <08034>.
22May we experience <01961> your faithfulness <02617>, O Lord <03068>, for <0834> we wait <03176> for <05921> you.
