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 work is done in faithfulness. |
He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. | He loves righteousness and justice; 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 the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their lights. |
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, The people He has 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 on those who fear Him, On those who wait for His faithfulness. |
Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. | Let Your favor, Lord, be upon us, Just as we have waited for You. |
