1A Psalm of David. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becomes the upright.
2Praise the Lord on the harp; play to him on a psaltery of ten strings.
3Sing to him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
5He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
