Psalms 33
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
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 works [are done] in truth.
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 kindness 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 by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].
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: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
The counsel of the Lord will stand 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.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth 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 directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard 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.
The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: 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.
Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his 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 upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver from death their soul, 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 the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
