Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
[A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.
2 Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
3 Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
Sing to him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
5 He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
He loves mercy and judgement; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
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 established; and all the host of them 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.
Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
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; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
10 The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
11 The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
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 whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
15 He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
16 The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
17 A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
18 Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
