REJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous; * for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

2 Praise the Lord with harp: * sing praises unto him with the lute, and instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing unto the Lord a new song: * sing praises lustily with a good courage.

4 For the word of the Lord is true, * and all his works are faithful.

5 He loveth righteousness and judgement: * the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, * and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
