Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
