< Psalms 33 >
1 Rejoice in YHWH, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
4 For the word of YHWH is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of YHWH.
He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
6 By the word of YHWH the heavens were made; and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste 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 vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.
8 Let all the earth fear YHWH. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare 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.
10 YHWH nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is YHWH, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 YHWH looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered 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 vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
18 Look, YHWH's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
20 Our soul waits for YHWH. He is our help and our shield.
Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, YHWH, since we have hoped in you.
Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
