Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
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 the LORD 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 the LORD; 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; He commanded, and it stood.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
The LORD looketh from heaven; 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 intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
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 the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
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 hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
