Psalms 33
1 A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright.
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
2 Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation.
Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith.
For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7 gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
10 The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders.
The LORD 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 remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of the LORD standeth 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 as his inheritance.
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
13 The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men.
The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth.
From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
16 The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.
A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,
Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
19 so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector.
Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped.
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.
Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
