Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, 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, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth 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 Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
Jehovah 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 Jehovah to the age standeth, 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!
O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath 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 unto 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 unto 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 by the abundance of his strength He doth 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 Jehovah [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 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 soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
