Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in YHWH, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD! For praise becometh the upright.
2 Give thanks to YHWH with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
Praise the LORD with the harp; Sing to him with the ten-stringed psaltery!
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Sing to him a new song; Play skilfully amid the sound of trumpets!
4 For the word of YHWH is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
For the word of the LORD is right, And all his acts are faithful.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of YHWH.
He loveth justice and equity; The earth is full of the goodness 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 word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all the hosts 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, as a heap; He layeth up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear YHWH. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; 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 YHWH nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
The LORD bringeth the devices of the nations to nothing; He frustrateth the designs of kingdoms.
11 The counsel of YHWH stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
The purposes of the LORD stand for ever; The designs of his heart, to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is YHWH, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Happy the nation whose God is Jehovah; The people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 YHWH looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
The LORD looketh down from heaven; He beholdeth all the children of men;
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
From his dwelling-place he beholdeth all the inhabitants of the earth, —
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
He that formed the hearts of all, And observeth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
A king is not saved by the number of his forces, Nor a hero by the greatness of his strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
The horse is a vain thing for safety, Nor can he deliver his master by his great strength.
18 Look, YHWH's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, —Upon them that trust in his goodness;
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
To save them from the power of death, And keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for YHWH. He is our help and our shield.
The hope of our souls is in the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Yea, in him doth our heart rejoice; In his holy name we have confidence.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, YHWH, since we have hoped in you.
May thy goodness be upon us, O LORD! According as we trust in thee!
