Play skillfully with a shout of joy! Verse 4. For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. Verse 5. He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. Verse 6. By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth. Verse 7. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Verse 8. Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. Verse 9. For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. Verse 10. Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. Verse 11.

Verse 13. Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. Verse 14. From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, Verse 15. he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works. Verse 16.
