1 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 the sov'reign pow'r begun
Stood fast at His command.
2 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.
3 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.
