Psalms 33

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

REJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

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

Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

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

Sing unto 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 done in truth.

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 goodness 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 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 an heap: he layeth up the depth 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: 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 spake, 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.

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people 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 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; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

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

The Lord looketh from heaven; 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 upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

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

He fashioneth their hearts alike; he 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.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: 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.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

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 the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

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 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 heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

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

Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
