2
Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3
Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4
For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.
5
He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9
For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
