< Psalms 33 >

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
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 Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices 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!
How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
