Praise to the Creator
(Psalm 148:1–14)

1Rejoice, ye just, in Jehovah, praise being suitable for the upright.

2Confess to Jehovah upon the harp: upon an instrument of ten strings play ye to him.

3Sing to him a new song; make cheerful playing with a loud noise.

4For straight the word of Jehovah, and all his work in faithfulness.

5He loved justice and judgment: the earth was filled with the mercy of Jehovah.

6By the word of Jehovah the heavens were made, and by the spirit of his mouth all their army.

7He heaped up the waters of the sea as a mound: he gave the depths into storehouses.

8All the earth shall fear from Jehovah: and of him shall all dwelling in the habitable globe be afraid.

9For he said, and it shall be; he commanded, and it will stand.

10Jehovah made vain the counsel of the nations: he brought the purposes of the peoples to nought.

11The counsel of Jehovah shall stand forever, the purposes of his heart to generation and generation.

12Happy the nation to whom Jehovah is his God; the people he chose for an inheritance to him.

13Jehovah looked from the heavens; he saw all the sons of man.

14From his prepared dwelling he viewed all dwelling in the earth.

15He formed their heart together, understanding all their works.

16The king was not saved by much strength: the strong one will not be delivered by much power.

17The horse was false to salvation, and he shall not deliver by the multitude of his strength.

18Behold, the eye of Jehovah upon those fearing him, upon those hoping for his mercy;

19To deliver their soul from death, and to save them alive in famine.

20Our soul waited for Jehovah: he our help and our shield.

21For in him our heart shall rejoice, for in his holy name we trusted.

22Thy mercy, O Jehovah, shall be upon us according as we hoped for thee.
