Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
2 Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
5 He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
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 Yahweh the heavens were made, and all the stars were made 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 gathers the waters of the sea together like a heap; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; 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 in place.
10 The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for 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 Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
15 He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
16 The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
No king is saved by a vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
A horse is a false hope for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
18 Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
19 To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
to deliver their lives from death and to keep them alive in times of famine.
20 Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
We wait for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.
21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us as we put our hope in you.
