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