Psalms 33
1 Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
2 Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works [are done] in truth.
For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
5 He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.
Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
7 He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].
Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
9 For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
10 The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.
Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
14 From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
15 He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.
Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
17 Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.
A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
19 To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
21 For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
22 Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
