2 Give thanks to YHWH with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
4 For the word of YHWH is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of YHWH.

6 By the word of YHWH the heavens were made; and all their host by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear YHWH. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; 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 firm.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 YHWH nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is YHWH, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

13 YHWH looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18 Look, YHWH's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for YHWH. He is our help and our shield.
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, YHWH, since we have hoped in you.
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
