Refrain:
Lord, let Your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in You.

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
Praise befits the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre,
make melody to Him with the harp of ten strings! (Refrain)

3 Sing to Him a new song,
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright;
and all His work is done in faithfulness. (Refrain)

5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of His mouth. (Refrain)

7 He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
He put the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord,
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. (Refrain)

9 For He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples. (Refrain)
