4For the word of Yahweh is upright;
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of Yahweh.
6By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
he put the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear Yahweh,
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 forth.
10Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nought;
he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of Yahweh stands for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13Yahweh looks down from heaven,
he sees all the sons of men;
14from where he sits enthroned he looks forth on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
16A king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
and by its great might it cannot save.
18Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19that he may deliver their soul from death,
and keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for Yahweh;
he is our help and shield.
21Yea, our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
22Let your steadfast love, O Yahweh, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
