< Psalms 33 >
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: praise is comely for the upright.
Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
2 Give thanks unto the LORD with harp: sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought: he maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of none effect.
Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth fast for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men;
Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their works.
Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great power.
A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul hath waited for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
