1Rejoice in Adonai , you upright! Tehilah ·Praise song· is fitting for the upright.
2Yadah ·Extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai with the lyre. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with the harp of ten strings.
3Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4For Adonai ’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5He 'ahav ·affectionately loves· righteousness and mishpat ·justice·. The earth is full of the cheshed ·loving-kindness· of Adonai .
6By Adonai ’s word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear Adonai . Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spoke, and it was done. He enjoined, and it stood firm.
10Adonai brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11The counsel of Adonai stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai , the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13Adonai looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
