Psalms 33
1 Sing, you righteous, in YHWH, [For] praise from upright ones [is] lovely.
Ye iust men, haue fulli ioye in the Lord; presyng togidere bicometh riytful men.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with a harp, With stringed instrument of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Knouleche ye to the Lord in an harpe; synge ye to hym in a sautre of ten strengis.
3 Sing to Him a new song, Play skillfully with shouting.
Synge ye to hym a newe song; seie ye wel salm to hym in criyng.
4 For the word of YHWH [is] upright, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
For the word of the Lord is riytful; and alle hise werkis ben in feithfulnesse.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, The earth is full of the kindness of YHWH.
He loueth merci and doom; the erthe is ful of the merci of the Lord.
6 By the word of YHWH The heavens have been made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
Heuenes ben maad stidfast bi the word of the Lord; and `al the vertu of tho bi the spirit of his mouth.
7 Gathering the waters of the sea as a heap, Putting the depths in treasuries.
And he gaderith togidere the watris of the see as in a bowge; and settith depe watris in tresours.
8 All the earth is afraid of YHWH, All the inhabitants of the world are afraid of Him.
Al erthe drede the Lord; sotheli alle men enhabitynge the world ben mouyd of hym.
9 For He has spoken, and it is, He has commanded, and it stands.
For he seide, and thingis weren maad; he comaundide, and thingis weren maad of nouyt.
10 YHWH made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
The Lord distrieth the counsels of folkis, forsothe he repreueth the thouytis of puplis; and he repreueth the counsels of prynces.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands for all time, The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
But the counsel of the Lord dwellith with outen ende; the thouytis of his herte dwellen in generacioun and into generacioun.
12 O the blessedness of the nation whose God [is] YHWH, Of the people He chose, For an inheritance to Him.
Blessid is the folk, whose Lord is his God; the puple which he chees into eritage to hym silf.
13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, He has seen all the sons of men.
The Lord bihelde fro heuene; he siy alle the sones of men.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked to all inhabitants of the earth;
Fro his dwellyng place maad redi bifor; he bihelde on alle men, that enhabiten the erthe.
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending to all their works.
Which made syngulerli the soules of hem; which vndurstondith all the werkis of hem.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
A kyng is not sauyd bi myche vertu; and a giaunt schal not be sauyd in the mychilnesse of his vertu.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And he does not deliver By the abundance of his strength.
An hors is false to helthe; forsothe he schal not be sauyd in the habundaunce, `ether plentee, of his vertu.
18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Lo! the iyen of the Lord ben on men dredynge hym; and in hem that hopen on his merci.
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
That he delyuere her soules fro deth; and feede hem in hungur.
20 Our soul has waited for YHWH, He [is] our help and our shield,
Oure soule suffreth the Lord; for he is oure helpere and defendere.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, For we have trusted in His Holy Name.
For oure herte schal be glad in him; and we schulen haue hope in his hooli name.
22 Let Your kindness, O YHWH, be on us, As we have waited for You!
Lord, thi merci be maad on vs; as we hopiden in thee.
