Psalms 33
1 [A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becomes the upright.
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a psaltery of ten strings.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
5 He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nought also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nought the counsels of princes.
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
16 A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
19 to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
