33 - Exultate, justi

1   Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous; 🞙
    it is fitting for the just to be thankful.

2   Praise the Lord with the harp; 🞙
    sing praises unto him with the ten-stringed lute.

3   Sing unto him a new song; 🞙
    make skillful melody and cry aloud with joy.

4   For the word of the Lord is true, 🞙
    and all his works are faithful.

5   He loves righteousness and true judgment; 🞙
    the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6   By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, 🞙
    and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

7   He gathers the waters of the sea together, as in a heap, 🞙
    and lays up the deep, as in a treasure house.

8   Let all the earth fear the Lord; 🞙
    stand in awe of him, all you that dwell in the world.

9   For he spoke, and it was done; 🞙
    he commanded and it stood fast.

10  The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to naught; 🞙
    he makes the devices of the peoples to be of no effect, and casts out the counsels of princes.

11  The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever, 🞙
    and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, 🞙
    and blessed are the people he has chosen for himself to be his inheritance.

13  The Lord looks down from heaven and beholds all the children of men; 🞙
    from the habitation of his dwelling he considers all those who dwell on the earth.

14  He fashions all the hearts of them 🞙
    and understands all their works.

15  There is no king who can be saved by a mighty host; 🞙
    neither is any mighty man delivered by great strength.

16  A horse is considered a vain hope to save a man; 🞙
    neither shall it deliver anyone by its great strength.

17  Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him, 🞙
    and upon those who put their trust in his mercy,

18  To deliver their soul from death, 🞙
    and to feed them in the time of famine.

19  Our soul has patiently waited for the Lord, 🞙
    for he is our help and our shield.

20  Our heart shall rejoice in him, 🞙
    because we have hoped in his holy Name.

21  Let your merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us, 🞙
    as we have put our trust in you.
