< Psalms 33 >
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
6 By the word of YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
12 O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his strength.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
