For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth. | For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. |
He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. | He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. |
|
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. | The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. |
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. | What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. |
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy. | But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. |
Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You. | Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. |
