Psalms 33
1 [A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becomes the upright.
| רננו צדיקים ביהוה לישרים נאוה תהלה |
2 Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a psaltery of ten strings.
| הודו ליהוה בכנור בנבל עשור זמרו-לו |
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
| שירו-לו שיר חדש היטיבו נגן בתרועה |
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
| כי-ישר דבר-יהוה וכל-מעשהו באמונה |
5 He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
| אהב צדקה ומשפט חסד יהוה מלאה הארץ |
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
| בדבר יהוה שמים נעשו וברוח פיו כל-צבאם |
7 Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
| כנס כנד מי הים נתן באוצרות תהומות |
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
| ייראו מיהוה כל-הארץ ממנו יגורו כל-ישבי תבל |
9 For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
| כי הוא אמר ויהי הוא-צוה ויעמד |
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.
| יהוה הפיר עצת-גוים הניא מחשבות עמים |
11 But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
| עצת יהוה לעולם תעמד מחשבות לבו לדר ודר |
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
| אשרי הגוי אשר-יהוה אלהיו העם בחר לנחלה לו |
13 The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
| משמים הביט יהוה ראה את-כל-בני האדם |
14 He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
| ממכון-שבתו השגיח-- אל כל-ישבי הארץ |
15 who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
| היצר יחד לבם המבין אל-כל-מעשיהם |
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.
| אין-המלך נושע ברב-חיל גבור לא-ינצל ברב-כח |
17 A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
| שקר הסוס לתשועה וברב חילו לא ימלט |
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
| הנה עין יהוה אל-יראיו למיחלים לחסדו |
19 to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
| להציל ממות נפשם ולחיותם ברעב |
20 Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
| נפשנו חכתה ליהוה עזרנו ומגננו הוא |
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
| כי-בו ישמח לבנו כי בשם קדשו בטחנו |
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
| יהי-חסדך יהוה עלינו כאשר יחלנו לך |
