For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. | For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. |
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. | The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. |

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. | By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. |
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. | Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. |
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. | But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. |
Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. | May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you. |
