Let all the earth Je­ho­vah fear,
Let all that dwell both far and near
In awe be­fore Him stand;
For lo, He spake and it was done,
And all with so­ver­eign pow­er begun
Stood fast at His com­mand.

He makes the na­tions’ coun­sels vain,
The plans the peo­ples would main­tain
Are thwart­ed by His hand;
Jehovah’s coun­sel stands se­cure,
His pur­poses of heart en­dure,
For ev­er­more they stand.

O tru­ly is the na­tion blest
Whose God be­fore the world con­fessed
Jehovah is alone;
And blest the peo­ple is whom He
Has made His he­rit­age to be,
And chos­en for His own.
