Praise to the Creator

(Psalm 148:1-14)
1
Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, || [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
2
Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, || With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3
Sing to Him a new song, || Play skillfully with shouting.
4
For the word of YHWH [is] upright, || And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5
Loving righteousness and judgment, || The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
6
By the word of YHWH || The heavens have been made, || And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7
Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, || Putting the depths in treasuries.
8
All the earth is afraid of YHWH, || All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
9
For He has spoken, and it is, || He has commanded, and it stands.
10
YHWH made void the counsel of nations, || He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11
The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, || The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
12
O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, || Of the people He chose, || For an inheritance to Him.
13
YHWH has looked from the heavens, || He has seen all the sons of men.
14
From the fixed place of His dwelling, || He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
15
Who is forming their hearts together, || Who is attending to all their works.
16
The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, || By abundance of power.
17
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, || And he does not deliver || By the abundance of his strength.
18
Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, || To those waiting for His kindness,
19
To deliver their soul from death, || And to keep them alive in famine.
20
Our soul has waited for YHWH, || He [is] our help and our shield,
21
For our heart rejoices in Him, || For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
22
Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, || As we have waited for You!

Praise to the Creator

(Psalm 148:1-14)
1
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2
Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4
For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
6
By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up 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 he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11
The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13
The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15
he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18
Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20
Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21
For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22
Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
