1 Rejoice in the | Lord, • O ye | righteous ||

for it becometh | well the | just • to be | thankful. ||

2 Praise the | Lord with | harp ||

Sing praises unto him with the lute, and | instru•ment of | ten | strings. ||

3 Sing unto the | Lord a • new | song ||

sing praises lustily unto | him • with a | good | courage. ||

4 For the word of the | Lord is | true ||

and | all his | works are | faithful. ||

5 He loveth | righteous•ness and | judgement ||

the earth is | full • of the | goodness • of the | Lord. ||

6 By the word of the Lord were the | heavens | made ||

and all the | hosts of them • by the | 3 breath of his | mouth. ||

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it | were up•on an | heap ||

and layeth up the | deep, as | in a | treasure • house. ||

8 Let all the | earth • fear the | Lord ||

stand in awe of him, 3 all | ye that | dwell • in the | world. ||

9 For he | spake, and • it was | done ||

he com- | manded, | 3 and it stood | fast. ||

10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the | 3 heathen to | nought ||

and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, * and | casteth • out the | 3 counsels of | princes. ||

11 The counsel of the Lord shall en- | dure for | ever ||

and the thoughts of his heart from gener- | 3 ation to | gener- | ation. ||

12 Blessed are the people, whose God is the | Lord Je- | hovah ||

and blessed are the folk, that he hath chosen to | him • to be | his in- | heri•tance. ||

13 The Lord looked down from heaven, and beheld all the | 3 children of | men ||

from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth 3 all | them that | dwell • on the | earth. ||

14 He fashioneth | all the | hearts of • them ||

and under- | standeth | all their | works. ||

15 There is no king that can be saved by the | multi•tude of an | host ||

neither is any mighty man de- | livered | by much | strength. ||

16 A horse is counted but a | vain • thing to | save a • man ||

neither shall he deliver | any • man | by his • great | strength. ||

17 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, * and upon them that put their | trust • in his | mercy; ||

18 To deliver their soul from death, and to | feed them • in the | time of | dearth. ||

19 Our soul hath patiently | tarried • for the | Lord ||

for | 3 he is our | help • and our | shield. ||

20 For our | heart • shall re- | joice in • him ||

because we have | hoped • in his | holy | Name. ||

21 Let thy merciful kindness, O | Lord, • be up- | on us ||

like as we do | put our | trust in | thee. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
