Sing for joy in the LORD, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright.

For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in faithfulness.

For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood firm.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen for His own inheritance.

A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who wait for His faithfulness,

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name.

Let Your favor, LORD, be upon us, Just as we have waited for You.

Fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no lack of anything.

The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are toward their cry for help.

Evil will bring death to the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt.

The LORD redeems the souls of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt.

For they hid their net for me without cause; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like You, Who rescues the afflicted from one who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the poor from one who robs him?"

They repay me evil for good, To the bereavement of my soul.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting, But my prayer kept returning to me.

I went about as though it were my friend or brother; I bowed down in mourning, like one who mourns for a mother.

Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me for no reason wink maliciously.

For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
