< Psalms 33 >

1 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made; and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
18 Look, the LORD's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
