< Psalms 33 >

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
רַנְּנ֣וּ צַ֭דִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָ֑ה לַ֝יְשָׁרִ֗ים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּכִנֹּ֑ור בְּנֵ֥בֶל עָ֝שֹׂ֗ור זַמְּרוּ־לֹֽו׃
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
שִֽׁירוּ־לֹ֖ו שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ הֵיטִ֥יבוּ נַ֝גֵּ֗ן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
כִּֽי־יָשָׁ֥ר דְּבַר־יְהוָ֑ה וְכָל־מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗הוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָֽה׃
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
אֹ֭הֵב צְדָקָ֣ה וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט חֶ֥סֶד יְ֝הוָ֗ה מָלְאָ֥ה הָאָֽרֶץ׃
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
בִּדְבַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה שָׁמַ֣יִם נַעֲשׂ֑וּ וּבְר֥וּחַ פִּ֝֗יו כָּל־צְבָאָֽם׃
7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
כֹּנֵ֣ס כַּ֭נֵּד מֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם נֹתֵ֖ן בְּאֹצָרֹ֣ות תְּהֹומֹֽות׃
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
יִֽירְא֣וּ מֵ֭יְהוָה כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נּוּ יָ֝ג֗וּרוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
כִּ֤י ה֣וּא אָמַ֣ר וַיֶּ֑הִי הֽוּא־צִ֝וָּ֗ה וֽ͏ַיַּעֲמֹֽד׃
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
יְֽהוָ֗ה הֵפִ֥יר עֲצַת־גֹּויִ֑ם הֵ֝נִ֗יא מַחְשְׁבֹ֥ות עַמִּֽים׃
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
עֲצַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם תַּעֲמֹ֑ד מַחְשְׁבֹ֥ות לִ֝בֹּ֗ו לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
אַשְׁרֵ֣י הַ֭גֹּוי אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו הָעָ֓ם ׀ בָּחַ֖ר לְנַחֲלָ֣ה לֹֽו׃
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
מִ֭שָּׁמַיִם הִבִּ֣יט יְהוָ֑ה רָ֝אָ֗ה אֶֽת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם׃
14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
מִֽמְּכֹון־שִׁבְתֹּ֥ו הִשְׁגִּ֑יחַ אֶ֖ל כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָֽרֶץ׃
15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
הַיֹּצֵ֣ר יַ֣חַד לִבָּ֑ם הַ֝מֵּבִ֗ין אֶל־כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃
16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
אֵֽין־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ נֹושָׁ֣ע בְּרָב־חָ֑יִל גִּ֝בֹּ֗ור לֹֽא־יִנָּצֵ֥ל בְּרָב־כֹּֽחַ׃
17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
שֶׁ֣קֶר הַ֭סּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָ֑ה וּבְרֹ֥ב חֵ֝ילֹ֗ו לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט׃
18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
הִנֵּ֤ה עֵ֣ין יְ֭הוָה אֶל־יְרֵאָ֑יו לַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדֹּֽו׃
19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
לְהַצִּ֣יל מִמָּ֣וֶת נַפְשָׁ֑ם וּ֝לְחַיֹּותָ֗ם בָּרָעָֽב׃
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָ֣ה לַֽיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרֵ֖נוּ וּמָגִנֵּ֣נוּ הֽוּא׃
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
כִּי־בֹ֭ו יִשְׂמַ֣ח לִבֵּ֑נוּ כִּ֤י בְשֵׁ֖ם קָדְשֹׁ֣ו בָטָֽחְנוּ׃
22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
יְהִֽי־חַסְדְּךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ כַּ֝אֲשֶׁ֗ר יִחַ֥לְנוּ לָֽךְ׃
