Psalms 33
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6 By the word of YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12 O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers 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.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his strength.
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
