< Psalms 33 >

1 Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
2 Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
4 For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
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 Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit 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.
Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
9 For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
10 Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
11 The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices 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!
How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
13 Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
15 He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
17 The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
To rescue, 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 own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, 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, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
22 Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
