Psalms 33

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.

A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

2 Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.

Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.

Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him 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 done with faithfulness.

5 He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.

He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of 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 power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.

Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths 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 the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe 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 bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away 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 standeth for ever: the thoughts 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 whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

13 The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.

The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.

14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.

From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.

15 He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.

He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth 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 a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.

17 A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.

Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.

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: and on them 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 feed them in famine.

20 Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.

Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.

For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.

22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.

Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
