Psalms 33
1 A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright.
| רננו צדיקים ביהוה לישרים נאוה תהלה |
2 Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
| הודו ליהוה בכנור בנבל עשור זמרו-לו |
3 Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation.
| שירו-לו שיר חדש היטיבו נגן בתרועה |
4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith.
| כי-ישר דבר-יהוה וכל-מעשהו באמונה |
5 He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of 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 their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:
| בדבר יהוה שמים נעשו וברוח פיו כל-צבאם |
7 gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage.
| כנס כנד מי הים נתן באוצרות תהומות |
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.
| ייראו מיהוה כל-הארץ ממנו יגורו כל-ישבי תבל |
9 For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
| כי הוא אמר ויהי הוא-צוה ויעמד |
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.
| יהוה הפיר עצת-גוים הניא מחשבות עמים |
11 But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, 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 as his inheritance.
| אשרי הגוי אשר-יהוה אלהיו העם בחר לנחלה לו |
13 The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men.
| משמים הביט יהוה ראה את-כל-בני האדם |
14 From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth.
| ממכון-שבתו השגיח-- אל כל-ישבי הארץ |
15 He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works.
| היצר יחד לבם המבין אל-כל-מעשיהם |
16 The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.
| אין-המלך נושע ברב-חיל גבור לא-ינצל ברב-כח |
17 The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.
| שקר הסוס לתשועה וברב חילו לא ימלט |
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,
| הנה עין יהוה אל-יראיו למיחלים לחסדו |
19 so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine.
| להציל ממות נפשם ולחיותם ברעב |
20 Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector.
| נפשנו חכתה ליהוה עזרנו ומגננו הוא |
21 For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped.
| כי-בו ישמח לבנו כי בשם קדשו בטחנו |
22 Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.
| יהי-חסדך יהוה עלינו כאשר יחלנו לך |
