< Psalms 33 >

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
2 Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3 Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
4 For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
5 He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
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 Jehovah were the heavens made, 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.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
11 The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth 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 Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13 The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16 The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18 Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19 To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
To deliver their soul 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 waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
