Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2 Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3 Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5 He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6 By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.
He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9 For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11 The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13 The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16 The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19 To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
