⁴ For the word of the Lord is upright,
    and all his work is done in ^(G)faithfulness.
⁵ He ^(H)loves righteousness and justice;
    ^(I)the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

⁶ By ^(J)the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
    and by ^(K)the breath of his mouth all ^(L)their host.
⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea as ^(M)a heap;
    he ^(N)puts the deeps in storehouses.

⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;
    let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
⁹ For ^(O)he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.

¹⁰ The Lord ^(P)brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
    he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
^11 (Q)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
    the plans of his heart to all generations.
^12 (R)Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people whom he has ^(S)chosen as his heritage!

¹³ The Lord ^(T)looks down from heaven;
    he sees all the children of man;
¹⁴ from ^(U)where he sits enthroned he ^(V)looks out
    on all the inhabitants of the earth,
¹⁵ he who fashions the hearts of them all
    and observes all their deeds.
^16 (W)The king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
^17 (X)The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
    and by its great might it cannot rescue.

¹⁸ Behold, ^(Y)the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
    ^(Z)on those who hope in his steadfast love,
¹⁹ that he may ^(AA)deliver their soul from death
    and keep them alive in ^(AB)famine.

²⁰ Our soul ^(AC)waits for the Lord;
    he is our ^(AD)help and ^(AE)our shield.
²¹ For our heart is ^(AF)glad in him,
    because we ^(AG)trust in his holy name.
²² Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in you.

^3 (G)Send out your light and your truth;
    let them lead me;
let them bring me to your ^(H)holy hill
    and to your ^(I)dwelling!
⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
    O God, my God.

^5 (J)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
^(K)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.

^5 (F)Come and see what God has done:
    ^(G)he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
⁶ He ^(H)turned the sea into dry land;
    they ^(I)passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
⁷     who rules by his might forever,
whose ^(J)eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸ Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
⁹ who has kept our soul among the living
    and ^(K)has not let our feet slip.
¹⁰ For you, O God, have ^(L)tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
¹¹ You brought us into ^(M)the net;
    you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
¹² you let men ^(N)ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through ^(O)water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

¹³ I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will ^(P)perform my vows to you,
¹⁴ that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised ^(Q)when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

^16 (R)Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
¹⁷ I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on^[a] my tongue.^[b]
18 If I had ^(S)cherished iniquity in my heart,
    ^(T)the Lord would not have listened.
¹⁹ But truly ^(U)God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
