Psalms 33
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
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 Yahweh the heavens were made, and all the stars were made by the breath of his mouth.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
He gathers the waters of the sea together like a heap; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; 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 in place.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for 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 Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance.
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
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 a vast army; a warrior is not saved 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 false hope for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
to deliver their lives from death and to keep them alive in times of famine.
20 Our soul has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
We wait for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us as we put our hope in you.
