1Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. (诗32:11; 诗147:1)2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! (诗71:22; 诗144:9)3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. (诗40:3; 诗96:1; 赛42:10)4For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. (诗119:75)5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. (诗11:7; 诗36:5; 诗45:7; 诗89:14; 诗119:64)6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. (创1:6; 创2:1; 伯26:13; 赛11:4; 约1:3; 來11:3; 彼后3:5)7He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses. (出15:8; 书3:13; 书3:16; 伯38:8; 诗78:13)8Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. (创1:3; 诗147:15; 诗147:18; 诗148:5)10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. (撒下15:34; 撒下17:14; 尼4:15; 伯5:12; 赛8:10; 赛19:3; 路1:51)11The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. (箴19:21; 赛46:10)12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! (出19:5; 申7:6; 申33:29; 诗65:4; 诗144:15)13The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; (伯28:24; 诗11:4)14from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, (王上8:39; 王上8:43; 王上8:49; 箴15:3; 耶32:19)15he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.16The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. (诗44:6)17The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. (诗20:7; 诗147:10; 箴21:31; 何1:7)18Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, (伯36:7; 诗34:15; 诗147:11; 彼前3:12)19that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. (伯5:20; 诗37:19; 徒12:11)20Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. (诗3:3; 诗62:1; 诗62:5; 诗115:9; 诗130:6; 赛8:17)21For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. (诗9:14; 诗11:1; 亚10:7)22Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
