< Psalms 33 >
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
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 Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, 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.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth 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.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his strength.
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
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,
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
