< Psalms 33 >

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
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 YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, 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!
O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to 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 a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his 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 YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His 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 has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
For our heart rejoices in Him, For 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 Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
