Psalms 33
1 Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
2 Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
4 For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works [are done] in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.
6 By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].
8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
9 For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
11 The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
13 Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.
18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
21 For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
22 Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
