1Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; for unto the righteous praise is comely.
2Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing praises unto him.
3Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
4For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works are done in truth.
5He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths of the sea.
