< Psalms 33 >

1 Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.
רננו צדיקים ביהוה לישרים נאוה תהלה
2 Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.
הודו ליהוה בכנור בנבל עשור זמרו-לו
3 Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.
שירו-לו שיר חדש היטיבו נגן בתרועה
4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.
כי-ישר דבר-יהוה וכל-מעשהו באמונה
5 His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
אהב צדקה ומשפט חסד יהוה מלאה הארץ
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.
בדבר יהוה שמים נעשו וברוח פיו כל-צבאם
7 He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.
כנס כנד מי הים נתן באוצרות תהומות
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.
ייראו מיהוה כל-הארץ ממנו יגורו כל-ישבי תבל
9 For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.
כי הוא אמר ויהי הוא-צוה ויעמד
10 The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.
יהוה הפיר עצת-גוים הניא מחשבות עמים
11 The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.
עצת יהוה לעולם תעמד מחשבות לבו לדר ודר
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.
אשרי הגוי אשר-יהוה אלהיו העם בחר לנחלה לו
13 The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;
משמים הביט יהוה ראה את-כל-בני האדם
14 From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;
ממכון-שבתו השגיח-- אל כל-ישבי הארץ
15 He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.
היצר יחד לבם המבין אל-כל-מעשיהם
16 A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
אין-המלך נושע ברב-חיל גבור לא-ינצל ברב-כח
17 A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
שקר הסוס לתשועה וברב חילו לא ימלט
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;
הנה עין יהוה אל-יראיו למיחלים לחסדו
19 To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
להציל ממות נפשם ולחיותם ברעב
20 Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
נפשנו חכתה ליהוה עזרנו ומגננו הוא
21 For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.
כי-בו ישמח לבנו כי בשם קדשו בטחנו
22 Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
יהי-חסדך יהוה עלינו כאשר יחלנו לך
