Psalms 33

1 Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.

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

2 Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.

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

3 Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.

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

4 For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works [are done] in truth.

For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.

5 He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.

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

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].

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

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.

Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.

9 For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.

For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.

10 The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.

The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.

11 The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.

12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.

Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.

13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.

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

14 From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

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

15 He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.

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

16 The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.

17 Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.

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

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.

Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,

19 To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.

To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.

20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: our help and our shield is he.

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

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

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

22 Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.

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