Psalms 33
1 Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.
Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
2 Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.
Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
3 Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.
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 works are certain.
For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
5 His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven 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 makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.
Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
8 Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.
Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
9 For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.
For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
10 The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.
Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
11 The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.
The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.
How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
13 The Lord is looking 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 house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;
Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
15 He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.
Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
16 A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free 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 false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
18 See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
19 To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
21 For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.
For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
22 Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
