1 Shout for joy in the LORD, you righteous: 2Give thanks to the LORD on the lyre, 3Sing to him a new song, 4For the LORD is straight in his promise; 5Justice and right he loves; 6By his word the heavens were made, 7He gathers the sea in a bottle, 8Let the whole world honour the LORD, 9For at his word it came into being, 10The LORD frustrates the designs of the nations, 11but the LORD’s own design will stand forever, 12Happy the nation whose God is the LORD, 13The LORD looks down from heaven, 14from where he rules he gazes 15He fashions the hearts of them all, 16It is not by great armies that kings are victorious, 17false hope is the war-horse to usher in victory, 18See! The eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, 19to deliver their life from death, 20We wait for the LORD: 21For in him our heart is glad, 22Let your kindness, O LORD, be upon us,
