< Psalms 33 >
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
6 By the word of YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste 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 vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, 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 O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending 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 a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by 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 vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting 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 their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
