Psalms 33
1 Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
2 Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
4 For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth 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 Jehovah The heavens have been 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.
Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
9 For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
10 Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11 The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
13 Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
From the heavens hath Jehovah 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;
From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
15 He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto 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 a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17 The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth 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 Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting 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 hath waited for Jehovah, 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 doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22 Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
