Psalms 33
1 Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
[A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.
2 Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
5 Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
6 By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
7 Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
8 Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
9 For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
10 Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
11 The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
15 Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
16 Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
17 A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
18 Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
19 To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
21 For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
22 Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
