1 Right-living people sound best when praising.
2 Play his praise on a grand piano!
3 give him a trumpet fanfare.
4 everything he makes is sound inside and out.
5 when his world is in plumb-line true. Earth is drenched in God's affectionate satisfaction.
6 he breathed the word and the stars popped out.
7 put Ocean in his keg.
8 world-dwellers—down on your knees!
9 in place the moment he said so.
10 he shoots down the world's power-schemes.
11 all his designs are made to last.
12 blessed are the people he's put in his will.
13 he sees all Adam's brood.
14 he overlooks all us earth-dwellers.
15 now he watches everything we do.
16 no warrior wins by brute strength.
17 no one gets by on muscle alone.
18 the ones who are looking for his love.
19 in lean times he keeps body and soul together.
20 he's everything we need.
21 since we've taken for our own his holy name.
22 that's what we're depending on.
