Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD! For praise becometh the upright.
2 Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
Praise the LORD with the harp; Sing to him with the ten-stringed psaltery!
3 Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
Sing to him a new song; Play skilfully amid the sound of trumpets!
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 acts are faithful.
5 He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
He loveth justice and equity; 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 hosts 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, as a heap; He layeth up the deep 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 devices of the nations to nothing; He frustrateth the designs of kingdoms.
11 The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
The purposes of the LORD stand for ever; The designs 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.
Happy the nation whose God is Jehovah; 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 looketh down from heaven; He beholdeth all the children of men;
14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
From his dwelling-place he beholdeth all the inhabitants of the earth, —
15 He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
He that formed the hearts of all, And observeth 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 the number of his forces, Nor a hero by the greatness of his 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, Nor can he deliver his master 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 trust in his goodness;
19 To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
To save them from the power of death, And keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
The hope of our souls is in the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
Yea, in him doth our heart rejoice; In his holy name we have confidence.
22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
May thy goodness be upon us, O LORD! According as we trust in thee!
