For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. | For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. |
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. | He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. |

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. | By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth. |
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. | Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. |
Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love. | Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness. |
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you. | Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you. |
