Psalms 33
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, 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 the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts 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 done in faithfulness.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness 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 word of the LORD 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 the LORD; 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; He commanded, and it stood.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts 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.
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
The LORD looketh from heaven; 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 intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered 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 vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
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 hath waited 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 in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
