For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. | For the word of the Lord is true, and he is faithful in everything he does. |
He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. | The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is filled with his kindness. |
|
The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. | The heavens were made by the word of the Lord, and all their host 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, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. |
But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. | But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those who trust in his kindness. |
Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. | O Lord, let your kindness rest upon us, for we have placed our hope in you. |
